Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name ETHYL ARACHIDONATE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Ethyl arachidonate

Ethyl arachidonate is a long-chain fatty acid ethyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of arachidonic acid with the hydroxy group of ethanol. It has a role as a human xenobiotic metabolite and a human blood serum metabolite. It is functionally related to an arachidonic acid. — ChEBI
