Hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HPETE) number of unsaturated IV. Leukotrienes bond V. Metabolism of eicosanoids  1 series – between  Arachidonic acid phospholipids carbon 13-14  Arachidonic acid release  2 series – between  Synthesis of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes, and carbons 13-14 & 5-6 Leukotrienes  3 series – between  Role of Prostaglandin in Platelet Homeostasis carbons 13-14, 5-6  Thromboxane A2 and 17-18  Prostacyclin  Greek letter subscript  Aspirin  Found only in the F series, hydroxyl group at carbon 9  Primarily exists in the α EICOSANOIDS position  Paracrine hormones – substance that act only on cells near the point of hormone synthesis instead of being transported in the blood 3. Function  Derived from arachidonic acid (20- carbon polyunsaturated  At very low concentrations, has a wide range of cellular and fatty acid) tissue functions  not stored, thus, produced only when needed  Smooth muscle contraction (during menstruation and  mediated by G-protein coupled receptors labor)  Functions  Affect blood flow to specific organs  Reproductive function  Wake-sleep cycle  Inflammation (fever and pain)  Platelet aggregation  Formation of blood clots  Inflammatory response  Regulation of blood pressure  Responsiveness to hormones such as epinephrine and  Gastric acid secretion glucagon  PATHWAYS FOR EICOSANOID SYNTHESIS  Cyclooxygenase pathway  Synthesis of prostaglandin and thromboxane  Lipoxygenase pathway  Yields leukotriene, HETE and lipoxin  Cytochrome P450 system  Synthesis of epoxides, HETE and diHETE A. PROSTAGLANDINS 1. Structure B. THROMBOXANES  Fatty acid containing 20 carbon atoms, including internal 5- 1.

HYDROPEROXYEICOSATETRAENOIC ACID 1. Structure  Hydroxyl fatty acid derivative of arachidonic acid  No ring structure  NSAIDs 2.
