Docosapentaenoic acid designates any straight chain 22:5 fatty acid.
Isomers
- See essential fatty acid#nomenclature for nomenclature.
all-cis-4,7,10,13,16-docosapentaenoic acid (osbond acid)
all-cis-4,7,10,13,16-docosapentaenoic acid is an ω-6 fatty acid with the trivial name osbond acid. It is formed by an elongation and desaturation of arachidonic acid 20:4 ω-6.
all-cis-7,10,13,16,19-docosapentaenoic acid (clupanodonic acid)
all-cis-7,10,13,16,19-docosapentaenoic acid is an ω-3 fatty acid with the trivial name clupanodonic acid, commonly called DPA. It is an intermediary between eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5 ω-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 ω-3). Seal oil is a rich source.[1]
Nutrition
Docosapentaeonic acid (DPA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that is structurally similar to EPA with two more carbon chain units. Many chronic diseases have an inflammatory component, and studies indicate that DPA has crucial anti-inflammatory properties. [2]
Dietary sources These are the top five sources for DPA according to the USDA Agricultural Research Service: [3]
- Fish oil, menhaden .668 22:5 n-3 (DPA) (g) Per Measure
- Fish oil, salmon .407 22:5 n-3 (DPA) (g) Per Measure
- Salmon, red (sockeye), filets with skin, smoked (Alaska Native) 0.335 22:5 n-3 (DPA) (g) Per Measure
- Fish, salmon, Atlantic, farmed, raw .334 22:5 n-3 (DPA) (g) Per Measure
- Beef, variety meats and by-products, brain, cooked, simmered 22:5 n-3 (DPA) (g) Per Measure
Docosapentaenoic acid deficiency
In mammals, clupanodonic acid (ω-3 fatty acid) deficiency is accompanied by an increase of the osbond acid (ω-6 fatty acid) isomer; the Osbond/DHA ratio is thus a marker of dietary DHA sufficiency.[4] However, this usage has been questioned.[5]
