Delta2-cis Eicosenoic Acid

Delta2-cis Eicosenoic acid is an alpha,beta-unsaturated fatty acid that has been extracted from fresh water clams and purified. A related compound, 2-octadecenoic acid, has been shown to improve liver function and decrease blood sugar in streptozocin-induced diabetic rats. Delta2-cis Eicosenoic acid and its salts have potential medicinal use for treating diabetes and improving lipid metabolism.Formal Name: 2Z-eicosenoic acid. CAS Number: 93772-82-8. Synonyms: FA 20:1.
