ω-3 Arachidonic acid is a rare polyunsaturated fatty acid found in trace amounts in dietary sources. ω-3 Fatty acids are known to be essential for infant growth and development and they protect against heart disease, thrombosis, hypertension, as well as inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.{5525} In human platelet membranes, ω-3 arachidonic acid inhibits arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase with a Ki of 14 µM. It also inhibits arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase in calf brain extracts with an IC50 value of about 5 µM.{2166} ω-3 Arachidonic acid ethyl ester is a more lipophilic form of the free acid.
