Notes: Docosatrienoic acid is a rare ω-3 fatty acid not readily detected in normal phospholipid PUFA pools. It is a polyunsaturated version of the fatty acid docosanoic acid (Item No. 9000338). Docosatrienoic acid inhibits [3H]-LTB4 binding to pig neutrophils at a concentration of 5 µM.{2361} It also dose-dependently inhibits the activity of mammalian DNA polymerases and human topoisomerases I and II, potentially by binding directly to the hydrophobic region of the enzymes.{39264} The cis configuration of the double bonds is important for this activity, and the carboxyl group is required as the methyl ester version has no activity at these enzymes.
