Background:

Docosapentaenoic acid is an ω-3 fatty acid found in fish oils. It is a minor constituent of the total serum unsaturated fatty acids in humans, ranging from 0.1 to 1%, and increases on dietary supplementation. DPA methyl ester is a more lipid-soluble form of DPA. ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acids are typically analyzed using gas chromatography after their conversion to fatty acid methyl esters. In addition, the methyl ester form of DPA may serve as a prodrug, since it should facilitate uptake of DPA and then be hydrolyzed by esterases to generate the free acid after uptake into cells.
