8(S)-HETE

8(S)-HETE (CAS 105500-09-2) is a hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid produced endogenously; also referenced in research contexts as 8(R)-HETE when specifying stereoisomeric counterparts.

Where is 8(S)-HETE used?

• Pharmaceutical research: analytical reference standard for quantifying hydroxy-fatty acid profiles in biological samples
• Biotechnology laboratories: receptor binding assays and enzyme activity studies focused on lipoxygenase and cytochrome P450 pathways
• Metabolomics and lipidomics platforms: certified reference material for method validation and calibration
• It serves as a reference standard and research reagent in eicosanoid biology.

Good to know: Precise stereochemical identity is critical for reproducible results in these studies. The product is unstable in neat form.

Commercial specifications

• Solution, typically in ethanol or a compatible organic solvent
• Standard pack sizes range from microgram to low-milligram quantities
• Research-grade purity with a certificate of analysis confirming stereochemical identity and concentration
