Enantiomers of 2-hydroxy derivatives of fatty acids

The invention relates to enantiomers of 2-hydroxy derivatives of fatty acids. The invention refers to the synthesis and purification of 2-hydroxy derivatives of fatty acids, and to the method for separating the enantiomers (or optical isomers) [-](S) and [+](R) of 2-hydroxy derivative compounds of fatty acids, to the actual enantiomers, to pharmaceutical compositions that include same and to the use thereof as drugs, as well as to in vitro diagnosis/prognosis methods and to methods for assessing the potential use of the molecules of the invention, in various diseases, as well as to the use thereof for regulating certain enzymes and to the study of the activity and effects thereof.
