Increasing attention has focused on the role of free radicals derived from oxygen in the pathophysiology of a wide variety of disorders. One of the well-recognized targets of free radical-induced iWury is peroxidation of lipids. Using a variety of approaches, we have found that a series of prostaglandin F2-like compounds are produced in vivo in humans by a non-cyclooxygenase mechanism involving free radicalcatalyzed peroxidation of arachidonic acid. Levels of these compounds in normal human plasma and urine range from 5 to 40 pg/ml and 500 to 4000 pg/mg of creatinine, respectively. In rats, their formation was found to increase as much as 200-fold in association with marked free radical-catalyzed lipid peroxidation induced by administration of CCl4 and diquat. To explore whether these prostanoids can exert biological activity, the effects of one of the compounds formed by this mechanism, 8-epi-prostaglandin F2a, was examined in the kidney in the rat. Infusion of 8-epi-prostaglandin F2a into a peripheral vein (5 jig/kg per min) or intrarenally (0.5-2.0 ,ug/kg per min) resulted in marked parallel reductions in renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate. That the formation of these prostanoids is catalyzed by free radicals and that they can exert potent biological activity suggest that these prostanoids may participate as pathophysiological mediators in oxidant injury. Quantification of these compounds may also provide a noninvasive approach to assess oxidant status in humans. That the formation of these prostanoids occurs independent of the catalytic activity of the cyclooxygenase enzyme suggests that there may be limitations at times regarding the reliability of the use of cyclooxygenase inhibitors to assess the role of prostaglandins in certain pathophysiological processes. Considerable evidence indicates an important role of reactive free radicals derived primarily from oxygen in the pathophysiology of a wide spectrum of disorders including atherosclerosis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, inflammatory disease, cancer, and aging (1). One of the well-recognized targets of oxidative injury is peroxidation of lipids. Autoxidation of fatty acids under certain conditions in vitro results in the formation of prostaglandin-like compounds (2-4). Recently we found that arachidonoyl-containing lipids in plasma readily undergo free radical-catalyzed peroxidation in vitro, resulting in the formation of a series of prostaglandin F2 (PGF2)-like compounds (5). This appeared to be a very facile process. Therefore, we explored the possibility that these prostanoids may also be produced in vivo by a similar mechanism independent of the catalytic activity of the cyclooxygenase enzyme. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES Analysis of PGF2-Like Compounds in Plasma and Urine. PGF2-like compounds were analyzed following TLC purification by GC/negative-ion chemical ionization and electron ionization MS (5). Catalytic hydrogenation and formation and analysis of cyclic boronate derivatives were carried out as described (5). Assessment of the Effect of Cyclooxygenase Inhibition on the Endogenous Production of PGF2-Like Compounds. Three human volunteers were employed in these studies. The following drugs were administered for 4 days: ibuprofen (1000 mg four times a day), naproxen (1000 mg four times a day), and indomethacin (200 mg four times a day). Among the three volunteers, ibuprofen was administered three times, naproxen once, and indomethacin twice. At least 4 plasma samples and 1-4 urine samples were obtained and analyzed at the end of each treatment period and compared to 21 plasma samples and 7 urine samples obtained during periods of no drug treatment. Animal Models of Free Radical-Induced Lipid Peroxidation. Endogenous lipid peroxidation was induced by administration of diquat (19.5 /umol/kg) to Se-deficient rats and CC14 (2 ml/kg) to normal rats, as described (6, 7). Biological Effects of 8-epi-PGF2a in the Rat Kidney. 8-epiPGF2a (a generous gift from Gordon Bundy of Upjohn, Kalamazoo, MI) was infused into the jugular or left renal of euvolemic male Munich-Wistar rats prepared as described (8). Glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow were measured 30 min after the initiation of the infusion (8).
