The 5S, 12S-dihydroxy-6,8,10,14-(E,Z,E,Z,)-eicosatetraenoic acid, a product of double dioxygenation of arachidonic acid by lipoxygenases, undergoes severe decomposition during gas chromatography-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis of the trimethylsilyl ether methyl ester derivative. The decomposition product was studied by GC-MS and identified as

Leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a potent chemoattractant for leukocytes, is catabolized by human neutrophils via omega-oxidation. Neutrophil microsomes are known to oxidize 20-hydroxy-LTB4 (20-OH-LTB4) to its 20-oxo and 20-carboxy derivatives in the presence of NADPH. This activity has been ascribed to
Identification and biological activity of novel omega-oxidized metabolites of leukotriene B4 from human leukocytes.

The generation and metabolism of leukotrienes (LTs) from polymorphonuclear granulocytes of four polytraumatic patients on stimulation with the Ca-Ionophore A 23187 were studied by high performance liquid chromatography. In contrast to healthy donors the concentration of LTB4 within the supernatant

A method for the analysis of omega-carboxyleukotriene B4 and omega-hydroxyleukotriene B4 in human colonic carcinoma homogenate is described. The hydroxy groups of the leukotriene metabolite were acetylated by acetic anhydride, and the mixture was partially purified on a Sep-Pak C18
