چکیده

5,8,11-Eicosatrienoic acid was converted by mouse mastocytoma cells stimulated with ionophore A23187 to two slow reacting substances. These were characterized by spectroscopy and by chemical and enzymatic degradations as two geometrical isomers of 5-hydroxy-6-S-glutathionyl-7,9,11-eicosatrienoic acid (E,E,Z; leukotriene C3 and E,E,E; 11-trans-leukotriene C3). Corresponding cysteinylglycine compounds (leukotriene D3 and 11-trans leukotriene D3) were obtained from the leukotriene C3 isomers by treatment with kidney gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase. The biological effects of leukotrienes C3 and D3, on the isolated guinea pig ileum, were approximately the same as of leukotrienes derived from arachidonic acid.

Products derived from 5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid by the 5-lipoxygenase-leukotriene pathway.

Analysis of products derived from 5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid via the 5-lipoxygenase-leukotriene pathway showed that this fatty acid is readily converted to leukotriene (LT)A3. When 10,000 X g supernatant from rat basophilic leukemia cell homogenates was incubated with 30 microM fatty acid, 5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid produced 6.2 +/- 1.1 nmol of LTA3 and arachidonic acid 15.5 +/- 1.9 nmol of LTA...

Evaluation of the Anti-Inflammatory Activities of 5,8,11-cis-Eicosatrienoic Acid

The main eicosanoids inflammatory mediators, prostaglandins and leukotrienes, are both generated from arachidonic acid (AA; 20:4 n-6). AA is a member of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Numerous studies have demonstrated that various contents of PUFAs can modulate the inflammatory responses. However, fewer studies have examined n-9PUFAs and their effects on the inflammatory responses. In th...

Metabolism of Essential Fatty Acids

The fat deficiency disease in the rat (I), dog (2), and chick (3) is characterized in part by sharply increased concentrations of one or more trienoic acids in the tissues, as indicated by alkali isomerization analyses. Indeed, the increase in conjugatable triene in the mitochondrial fatty acids may be the first noticeable symptom of the onset of fat deficiency (4). The major triene component o...

Biosynthesis of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid in guinea pig lung. Prostaglandins and related factors. 38.

The prostaglandins constitute a class of physiologically active compounds with a widespread occurrence in animal tissues (see References 2 and 3). Previous studies have led to the determination of their structures (4-S), and more recent investigations have shown that they can be formed enzymatically from the essential fatty acids (7,8). It was thus shown that in homogenates of vesicular glands ...
