Lipids
The heterogeneous classes of organic compounds that are not water-soluble but are dissolved in organic solvents that are non-polar in nature are termed lipids. They are a long chain of fatty acids and esters of alcohols. Lipids are generally seen in seve…
Glycerophospholipid
Glycerophospholipid is the most abundantly occuring phospholipids found in the biological membranes. Lipids include a group of organic compounds like fats, hormones, oils, waxes, vitamins etc. They are non-polar molecules and are insoluble in water. Lipi…
Structure Of Camphor
A terpene with the molecular formula of C10H16O is a waxy, white color solid known as camphor. It is flammable. It also possesses a very pungent taste and a strong odor. There are various sources for extracting camphor from natural products such as the …
Glycolipid In Organic Chemistry
Glycolipids are lipids that are an important class of organic compounds in chemistry that have simple to complex applications. They contain carbohydrates, fatty acids, sphingolipids or a glycerol group. In other words, they are the modifications of lipid…
Diterpenoid
The terpenoid class includes diterpenoids, which are chemical compounds with 20 carbon atoms. They are made up of four isoprene units and are derived from geranylgeraniol, a C20 precursor. They have a C20H32 basic structure. These characteristics disting…

Chapter 17.2, Problem 17.15QAP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Compare the structures and functional groups of arachidonic acid and prostaglandin PGE1.

Concept introduction:

Arachidonic acid is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid. It is basically linked to the saturated arachidic acid found in Cupuaçu butter. Arachidonic acid is an unsaturated, important fatty acid. It is found in human and animal fat as well as in the brain, glandular organs, and liver and is an element of animal phosphatides.

Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) is a chief prostaglandin occurs in-person semen which acts as a vasodilator, a fibrinolytic agent, as well as an inhibitor of platelet accumulation. In addition to, PGE1 has been shown to influence protein kinase C (PKC), calcium transfer, and adenylate cyclase yielding a multitude of physiological impacts.
