C20-trifluoro-5-oxo-ETE: A metabolically stable 5-oxo-ETE derivative

Theoretical characterization of 5 - oxo , 7 - oxo and 5 - oxo - 7 - amino [ 1 , 2 , 4 ] triazolo [ 1 , 5 - a ] pyrimidines †

Accurate ab initio calculations at the B3LYP/6-311 G** level have been performed on anionic and neutral structures of 4,5-dihydro-5-oxo[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, 4,7-dihydro-7-oxo[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, and 4,5-dihydro-7-amino-5-oxo[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine compounds. The quality of the theoretical results has been tested against the experimental X-ray structures for the...

15-oxo-ETE-induced internal carotid artery constriction in hypoxic rats is mediated by potassium channels.

Our own study as well as others have previously reported that hypoxia activates 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) in the brain, causing a series of chain reactions, which exacerbates ischemic stroke. 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) and 15-oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-oxo-ETE/15-KETE) are 15-LO-specific metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA). 15-HETE was found to be rapidly converted into 15-oxo-...

Synthesis of 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid and identification of novel omega-oxidized metabolites in the mouse macrophage.

The metabolism of arachidonic acid by the 5-lipoxygenase pathway not only leads to the formation of leukotrienes but also to the biologically active eicosanoid 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE). The synthesis of 5-oxo-ETE was investigated in the elicited peritoneal macrophage and the formation of 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) as well as 5-oxo-ETE was quantitated using ...

Regulation of 5-oxo-ETE synthesis by nitric oxide in human polymorphonuclear leucocytes upon their interaction with zymosan and Salmonella typhimurium

In the present study we have presented data on the regulation of LT (leukotriene) and 5-oxo-ETE (5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid) syntheses in human neutrophils upon interaction with OZ (opsonized zymosan) or Salmonella typhimurium. Priming of neutrophils with PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) and LPS (lipopolysaccharide) elicits 5-oxo-ETE formation in neutrophils exposed to OZ, and t...

Non-Gai OXE-R Antagonist Demonstrates That Gai Protein Subunit Is Not Directly Involved in Neutrophil, Eosinophil, and Monocyte Activation by 5-Oxo-ETE
