Dihomo-γ-Linolenic acid methyl ester is the methyl ester form of Dihomo-γ-Linolenic Acid (DGLA) (HY-A0143). Dihomo-γ-Linolenic acid is an n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid that is metabolized mainly through the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway to the anti-inflammatory eicosanoid prostaglandin (PG) E1. Dihomo-γ-Linolenic acid has anti-inflammatory and antiproliferation effects.
