Arachidic acid

Arachidic acid (Eicosanoic acid) is a long-chain saturated fatty acid. Arachidic acid can be found in the human organism from the plasma phospholipid, fish, cannabis and other plant oils. Arachidic acid conjugated with Chitosan oligosaccharide (HY-112108) can be used for anti-cancer drug delivery research[1][2].
