2. Eicosatetraenoic acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eicosatetraenoic_acid

   It is formed by a desaturation of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA, 20:3 ω-6). all-cis-8,11,14,17-eicosatetraenoic acid is an ω-3 fatty acid. It is an intermediate between stearidonic acid (18:4 ω-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5 ω-3) Some chemistry sources define 'arachadonic acid' to designate any of the eicosatetraenoic acids.

3. Oxoeicosanoid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxoeicosanoid

   The oxoeicosanoids are nonclassic eicosanoids, derived from arachidonic acid (AA). For example, Lipoxygenase produces 5-HETE from AA; a dehydrogenase then produces 5-oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid, an oxoeicosanoid, from 5-HETE. They are similar to the leukotrienes in their actions, but they act via a different receptor. [1]

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eicosanoid

   Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), i.e. 5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z-eicosapentaenoic acid is an ω−3 fatty acid with five cis double bonds, each located between carbons 5-6, 8-9, 11-12, 14-15, and 17-18. Dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid ( DGLA ), i.e. 8 Z ,11 Z ,14 Z -eicosatrienoic acid is an ω−6 fatty acid with three cis double bonds, each located between ...

5. 15-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../15-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic_acid

   15(S)-HETE is unambiguously designated by a shortened version of its IUPAC name viz., 15(S)-hydroxy-5Z,8Z,11Z,13E-eicosatetraenoic acid. In this terminology S refers to the absolute configuration of the chirality of the hydroxy functional group at carbon position 15. Its 15(R) enantiomer is designated 15(R)-hydroxy-5Z,8Z,11Z,13E ...

6. Epoxyeicosatetraenoic acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxyeicosatetraenoic_acid

   EPA is a straight-chain, 20 carbon omega-3 fatty acid containing cis double bonds between carbons 5 and 6, 8 and 9, 11 and 12, 14 and 15, and 17 and 18; each of these double bonds is designated with the notation Z to indicate its cis configuration in the IUPAC Chemical nomenclature used here. EPA is therefore 5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z-eicosapentaenoic ...

7. 5-Oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-Oxo-eicosatetraenoic_acid

   In the most common means for its production, cells make 5-oxo-ETE in a four step pathway that involves their stimulus-induced activation of the following pathway: a) the release of arachidonic acid (i.e. 5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid) from its storage sites in membrane phospholipids due to the activation of phospholipase A2 enzymes; b) oxygenation of this arachidonic acid by activated ...
