Abstract
Methods that have been developed for isolating arachidonic or, in full, ciseicosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenoic, acid from the wastes of the endocrine industry are described. The acid isolated has been characterized by physicochemical and spectral features. Prostaglandin E2 has been obtained by enzymatic synthesis from arachidonic acid.
