8(S)-HETrE is a monohydroxy polyunsaturated fatty acid produced by rabbit neutrophil lipoxygenase when dihomo-γ-linolenic acid is used as a substrate. Although the biological activities of 8(S)-HETrE have not been well characterized, it is expected to behave similarly to 8(S)-HETE .
5(S)-HETrE is produced by the action of 5-LO when mead acid is the substrate. There are no literature reports of the biological activity or further metabolic fate of 5(S)-HETrE.
15(S)-HETrE is the hydroxy-trienoic acid resulting from 15-lipoxygenation of dihomo-γ-linolenic acid . It is an inhibitor of 5-LO in human PMNL with an IC50 value of 4.6 μM. In RBL cells, 15(S)-HETrE inhibits 5-LO, but is about 1/20 as potent as 15(S)-HpETE.
