Abstract: This invention provides an improved process for the production of fatty acid metal salts. An essential feature of the process is the use of a combination of basic alkaline earth metal and alkali metal compounds as salt-forming reagents.
Abstract: Substantially pure stearidonic acid is isolated from a mixture of polyunsaturated fatty acids by fractionating at 25% to 35% by weight solution of fatty acids by high-performance reverse-phase liquid chromatography using a mobile phase of 75% to 95% by weight methanol and 25% to 5% by weight water. The isolated stearidonic acid is used to prepare pharmaceutical compositions which are administered to treat cardiovascular and thrombo-embolic diseases associated with platelet aggregation.
