11-deoxy Prostaglandin E1 (11-deoxy PGE1) is a synthetic analog of PGE1 . Early reports show that it is a selective agonist for the EP2 receptor but effective at much higher concentrations than PGE2. However, later studies show that it is a

12(R)-HETE is an arachidonic acid metabolite synthesized in the 12-lipoxygenase pathway in platelets and macrophages. Studies suggest that 12(R)-HETE is a better stimulator of leukocyte aggregation and enhances leukocyte chemokinesis better than its

12(S)-HPETE is a monohydroperoxy polyunsaturated fatty acid produced by the action of platelet or leukocyte 12-lipoxygenase (12-LO) on arachidonic acid. It activates human blood leukocyte 5-LO, resulting in the synthesis of 5(S)-HETE, leukotriene

Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) compounds are produced by both enzymatic and non-enzymatic processes, where the products of enzymatic origin, via Leukotriene A4 (LTA4) hydrolase, are stereospecifically 12(R). Non-enzymatic hydrolysis products are racemic

13,14-Dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin F2α is the first substantially accumulating metabolite of PGF2α , that is formed from 15-keto-PGF2α via the 15-hydroxy prostaglandin dehydrogenase pathway. This product has been used to measure the rate of|in
