Abstract
The stereochemical configuration of hydroxylated products of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6w3) formed by human platelets and rat brain homogenate were characterized for the first time. Chiral phase HPLC was employed along with autooxidized 22:6w3 as reference material. The 14- and 11-hydroxy 22:6w3 (HDHE) products produced by human platelets were in the S configuration. Rat brain homogenate produced all of the ten possible positional isomers when incubated with 22:6w3. Their retention behavior on the reversed and chiral phase HPLC columns and GC/MS/EI analysis indicated that they were 20-, 17-, 16-, 14-, 13-, 11-, 10-, 8-, 7- and 4-HDHE. However, stereochemical analysis revealed that each positional isomer was a racemic mixture, suggesting that these were not formed by lipoxygenation but mainly by peroxidation process.Entities:
