EPA free acid
Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that acts as a FASN inhibitor and promotes DNA demethylation, reactivating tumor suppressor genes like C/EBPδ. It activates the RAS/ERK pathway in leukemia cell studies and induces vasodilation by relaxing vascular smooth muscle cells, supporting research in oncology and cardiovascular biology.
