Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acids

(±)11(12)-EET is a NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor. (±)11(12)-EET can be used for the research of anti-inflammatory, angiogenic and cardioprotective.

5,6-Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (5,6-EET; (±)5,6-EpETrE) is a fully racemic version of the enantiomeric forms biosynthesized from arachidonic acid by cytochrome P450 enzymes. In solution, 5,6-Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid degrades into 5,6-DiHET and 5,6-δ-lactone, which can be converted to 5,6-DiHET and quantified by GC-MS. In neuroendocrine cells, such as the anterior pituitary and pancreatic islets, 5,6-Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid has been implicated in the mobilization of calcium and hormone secretion. 5,6-Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid is an inhibitor of T-type voltage-gated calcium channels (Cav3) that inhibits isoforms Cav3.1, Cav3.2 (IC₅₀=0.54 μM), and Cav3. and decreases nifedipine-resistant phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction in isolated mouse mesenteric arteries via Cav3.2 blockade when used at a concentration of 3 μM. In addition, it is a substrate of COX-1 and COX-2.

(±)14,15-Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid ((±)14(15)-EET) is the Cytochrome P450 metabolite of arachidonic acid. While CYP3A4 may be involved in breast cancer cell growth, (±)14,15-Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid may promote mitosis and anchorage-dependent cloning through STAT3 affected by CYP3A4. (±)14,15-Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid exhibits STAT3-dependent cell growth promotion and may also participate in the autocrine/paracrine pathway that drives cell growth.

15H-11,12-EETA is a nucleoside metabolite.

(±)8(9)-EET is one of the main metabolites produced by the metabolism of arachidonic acid (HY-109590) through the cytochrome P450 epoxide pathway. (±)8(9)-EET is an effective substrate for COX-1 and COX-2. (±)8(9)-EET activates PPARα in HEK293 cells and inhibits the activity of NF-κB induced by IL-1β in a PPARα-dependent and -independent manner. The (8S,9R)-isomer of (±)8(9)-EET ([(8S,9R)-EET]) causes vasoconstriction, thereby reducing renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate.

14R(15S)-EET (14R(15S)-EpETrE) is an oxylipin and a metabolite of Arachidonic acid (HY-109590).

8,9-Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid has an unique protective effect on glomeruli. 8,9-Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid blocks the increase in glomerular albumin permeability caused by circulating permeability factor (FSPF). 8,9-Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid can be used for the research of glomerular dysfunction.

8(S),9(R)-EET is an eicosanoid product of Arachidonic acid (AA; HY-109590) by cytochromes P450. 8(S),9(R)-EET dilates canine epicardial arterioles in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC₅₀ value of 121 nM.

8(9)-EET is one of the main metabolites produced by the metabolism of arachidonic acid (HY-109590) through the cytochrome P450 epoxide pathway. 8(9)-EET is an effective substrate for COX-1 and COX-2. 8(9)-EET activates PPARα in HEK293 cells and inhibits the activity of NF-κB induced by IL-1β in a PPARα-dependent and -independent manner. The (8S,9R)-isomer of 8(9)-EET ([(8S,9R)-EET]) causes vasoconstriction, thereby reducing renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate.

11R(12S)-EET is a cis-epoxytrienoic acid (EETs) derivative that is metabolized by cytoplasmic cyclooxygenases. Studies have shown that 14(R), 15(S)-, 11(S),12(R)-, and 8(S),9(R)-EETs are metabolized at significantly higher rates than their enantiomers. Enzyme-catalyzed hydration revealed that water addition was non-regioselective for the 11,12-EET enantiomers, whereas water addition occurred primarily at the C9 position for both enantiomers of 8,9-EET. These results suggest that the metabolic properties of 11R(12S)-EET and other EET enantiomers in enzyme-catalyzed processes are significantly affected by their stereostructures.

11S(12R)-EET is a dominant enantiomer of epoxytrienoic acid (EET) that is metabolized at a higher rate in rat organs. It shows enantiomeric-dependent reaction selectivity in hydration, especially in the case of 11,12-EET, where water addition is non-regioselective, while in 8,9-EET, water addition occurs mainly at the C9 position. In addition, 11S(12R)-EET generates diol products with specific stereochemistry through enzymatic hydration reactions, which are affected by the selective recognition of epoxidases, reaction conversion rates, and substrate binding parameters.
