Methyl arachidonate

Methyl arachidonate (Arachidonic acid methyl ester) is a fatty acid methyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of arachidonic acid with methanol. Methyl arachidonate has activity of human blood serum metabolite[1]. Methyl arachidonate is a Modulator of GPR72 (EC50 = ~ 5 µM) [2].
