Leukotriene C5: a slow reacting substance derived from eicosapentaenoic acid.
نویسنده
چکیده
Mouse mastocytoma cells incubated with ionophore A23187 and eicosapentaenoic acid (n-3) produced a slow reacting substance with different properties compared with leukotriene C4 (previously designated leukotriene C). This product was characterized by spectroscopy and enzymatic and chemical degradations to be 5-hydroxy-6-S-glutathionyl-7,9,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid (leukotriene C5). Leukotriene C5 has similar biological activity on the isolated guinea pig ileum but is less potent than is leukotriene C4.

The leukotrienes.
This paper reviews the leukotrienes, a new group of biologically active compounds in the metabolism of eicosapolyenoic acids. The leukotrienes are acyclic eicosanoids that arise through the 5-lipoxygenase pathway from eicosatrienoic, eicosatetraenoic, and eicosapentaenoic acid. Of these eicosatetraenoic acid, arachidonic acid, is the most important source of leukotrienes. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4),...
متن کاملThe Role of Leukotrienes in Respiratory Tract and Asthma
Polyunsaturated fatty acids play a role as precursors of biologically active compounds that can act as mediators or modulators of various cell functions. Thus three main groups of derivatives the prostaglandins, the thromboxanes, and recently discovered leukotrienes are formed by oxygenation and further transformation of various polyunsaturated fatty acids of which arachidonic acid plays t...
متن کاملStereospecific elimination of hydrogen at C-10 in eicosapentaenoic acid during the conversion to leukotriene C5.
(10L)- and (10D)-[1-14C, 10-3H]5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acids were synthesized to investigate mechanistic and stereochemical aspects of leukotriene biosynthesis. Experiments with mastocytoma cells showed that a hydrogen is stereospecifically eliminated from C-10 during the conversion of eicosapentaenoic acid to leukotriene C5. The hydrogen lost has the pro-S (D) configuration. 5-Hydroxy-6,...

5,8,11-Eicosatrienoic acid was converted by mouse mastocytoma cells stimulated with ionophore A23187 to two slow reacting substances. These were characterized by spectroscopy and by chemical and enzymatic degradations as two geometrical isomers of 5-hydroxy-6-S-glutathionyl-7,9,11-eicosatrienoic acid (E,E,Z; leukotriene C3 and E,E,E; 11-trans-leukotriene C3). Corresponding cysteinylglycine comp...
