Icosapent is an important polyunsaturated fatty acid found in fish oils. It serves as the precursor for the prostaglandin-3 and thromboxane-3 families. A diet rich in eicosapentaenoic acid lowers serum lipid concentration, reduces incidence of cardiovascular disorders, prevents platelet aggregation, and inhibits arachidonic acid conversion into the thromboxane-2 and prostaglandin-2 families. EPA can be used for lowering elevated triglycerides in those who are hyperglyceridemic. In addition, EPA may play a therapeutic role in patients with cystic fibrosis by reducing disease severity and may play a similar role in type 2 diabetics in slowing the progression of diabetic nephropathy.
CRESTOR (rosuvastatin calcium) is an inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase. It has been widely launched for the treatment of patients with dyslipidaemia and has also been approved in the US and EU to slow the progression of atherosclerosis.

Trigonellamide (1-Methylnicotinamide) is a metabolite of nicotinamide and is produced primarily in the liver by nicotinamide N-methyltransferase. Trigonellamide may be an endogenous activator of prostacyclin (PGI2) production and thus may regulate thrombotic as well as inflammatory processes in the cardiovascular system. The mechanisms of action of Trigonellamide involve the activation of PGI2 release driven by cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2). PGI2 releasing capacity of 1- Trigonellamide was shown to afford not only anti-thrombotic but also fibrinolytic, anti-inflammatory and gastroprotective effects. Interestingly, Trigonellamide did not directly either affect the activity of leucocytes or release PGI2 in the perfused rat hindquarters model. Still, Trigonellamide, due to its PGI2 releasing capacity, might serve as a hepatoprotective agent that protects against Concanavalin-A induced liver injury through the downregulation of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and tumor necrosis factor-α signalization (TNF-α). In addition to its anti-platelet, anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory activities, 1-MNA has also been shown to restore endothelial function in diabetic hyperglycemic rats, as well as to improve endothelial function in humans. PGI2 displays anti-metastatic activity, and the PGI2 releasing activity of Trigonellamide, the potential application of exogenous Trigonellamide to prevent metastatic cancer.

Palmitoleic acid, commonly known as omega-7, is a rare monounsatured fatty acid, which was generally reported to benefit the skin in promoting epithelialisation, and certain gynaecological problems (vaginal mycoses). Until now, sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides), a shrub widely found in Europe and Asia, and macadamia nuts have been the principal sources. Palmitoleic acid (PMA) has anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic activities. Palmitoleic acid is a gap junction uncoupler.
