The leukotrienes constitute a new group of biologically active compounds derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids [11. Thus, arachidonic acid can be oxygenated by a lipoxygenase to SS-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid [2], which is further converted to an unstable epoxide, 5, 6-oxido-7, 9, 11, 14-eicosatetraenoic acid (leukotriene Aq, LTA4)[3, 4]. This intermediate is transformed enzymatically by addition of glutathione into a ‘slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis’(SRS-A), LTC4 [5, 6]. The biological activity of most SRS-A preparations is due to LTC4 and the two metabolites LTD4 and LTE4 [7-91. LTA4 can also be hydrolyzed enzymatically to 5S, 12R-dihydroxy-6-cis, 8, 1O-trans, l4-cis-eicosatetraenoic acid (LTB4)[1 Ol 2] or non-enzymatically to isomeric 5, 12-and 5, 6-dihydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acids [131. We have reported the formation of a novel dihydroxy-acid, 5S, 12S-dihydroxy-6-trans, 8-cis, lO-trans, l4-cis-eicosatetraenoic acid (SS, 12SDHETE), in preparations of human leukocytes [14). This dihydroxy-acid was not formed via an epoxide intermediate, but by a double oxygenation of arachidonic acid. In addition, an w-hydroxylated metabolite, 5S, 12S, 20-trihydroxy-6-trans, 8-cis, lO-trarzs, lLF-cis-eicosatetraenoic acid (5S, 12S, 20-THETE), was identified. This report describes the formation of an w-hydroxylated metabolite of LTB4, 5S, 12R, 20-trihydroxy-6-cis $, lO-trans, l4&s-eicosatetraenoic acid (20-OHLTB4) in human leukocyte preparations and further conversion of this trihydroxy acid to a dicarboxylic acid (20-COOH-LTB4). In addition, the biological activity of LTB4, 20-OH-LTB4 and 20-COOH-LTB4, on guinea pig lung strips is reported.
