15-Ketoeicosatetraenoic acid, also known by its CAS number 81416-72-0, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is derived from eicosatetraenoic acid, which is a 20-carbon fatty acid with four double bonds. This compound is characterized by the presence of a ketone functional group at the 15th carbon position, which distinguishes it from its parent compound. It is typically found in biological systems and can play a role in various metabolic processes. The presence of multiple double bonds contributes to its reactivity and potential biological activity, including involvement in inflammatory responses and cell signaling pathways. As a fatty acid, it is likely to be soluble in organic solvents but less so in water. Its derivatives and metabolic products may have implications in health and disease, particularly in relation to cardiovascular health and inflammatory conditions. Further research is often conducted to explore its potential therapeutic applications and biological significance.

15-OxoETE is produced by oxidation of the 15-hydroxyl of 15-HETE. Whether this is a major pathway of 15-HETE metabolism is yet to be clearly established.
