In biochemistry, eicosanoids are a class of oxygenated hydrophobic molecules that largely function as autocrine and paracrine mediators. Eicosanoids derive from 20-carbon polyunsaturated essential fatty acids, most commonly arachidonic acid (AA) in humans. The IUPAC and the IUBMB use the equivalent term Icosanoid.
