Polycyclic hydrocarbons and other xenobiotics are cooxygenated during the oxidative metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The products of polycyclic hydrocarbon cooxygenation depend upon the hydrocarbon but they appear to be formed by radical (or electron transfer) mechanisms. The cooxygenations are hydroperoxide-dependent oxidations catalyzed by peroxidases and may be triggered by enzymes which biosynthesize fatty acid hydroperoxides. Prostaglandin endoperoxide synthetase is the principal hydroperoxide-generating system which has been studied to date. The extent to which polyunsaturated fatty acid-dependent cooxygenation operates in vivo is uncertain but preliminary studies suggest it does occur.
