8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic acid, also known as dihomo-γ-linolenic acid , is a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) produced from γ-linolenic acid by the action of fatty acid elongases. It can be metabolized by the cyclooxygenase pathway to produce 1-series prostaglandins (PGs) (e.g., PGE1). (±)14(15)-EpEDE is an EpEDE acid formed from 8,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid. This monoepoxide can be generated from the PUFA, in vitro, by the action of a strong oxidizing agent. Alternatively, this compound may be produced, in vivo, by epoxidation of the PUFA by cytochrome P450 epoxygenases. The biological properties of this compound are poorly understood.
11-Keto Fluprostenol, a potent analog of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), primarily interacts with the FP receptor. It is a structurally modified derivative of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) designed to enhance its potency and extend its half-life. The compound is produced by oxidizing fluprostenol at the C-11 position, which results in 11-keto fluprostenol. This modification allows 11-keto Fluprostenol to exhibit moderate affinity for the CRTH2 DP2 receptor, though it shows negligible activity at the DP1 receptor, distinguishing its action from that of PGD2.
