Biochem/physiol Actions
Arachidonic acid (AA) is an unsaturated omega-6 fatty acid constituent of the phospholipids of cell membranes. Phospholipase A2 releases AA from the membrane phospholipids in response to inflammation. AA is subsequently metabolized to prostaglandins and thromboxanes by at least two cyclooxygenase (COX) isoforms, to leukotrienes and lipoxins by lipoxygenases, and to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids via p450-catalyzed metabolism. AA and its metabolites play important roles in a variety of biological processes, including signal transduction, contraction, chemotaxis, and cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. AA has been demonstrated to bind to the α subunit of G protein and inhibit the activity of Ras GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). Cellular uptake of AA is energy dependent and involves protein-facilitated transport across the plasma membrane.

Ethyl 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoate-19,19,20,20-d4 and ethyl 8,11,14-eicosatrienoate-19,19,20,20-d4 were synthesized by Grignard coupling of the methanesulfonyl ester of 2,5-undecadiyn-1-ol-10,10,11,11-d4 with 5,8-nonadiynoic acid and 8-nonynoic acid, respectively. The coupled products upon Lindlar reduction, followed by the preparation of their ethyl esters, yielded deuteriated ethyl

Fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) are nonoxidative ethanol metabolites that have been implicated as mediators of alcohol-induced organ damage. FAEEs are detectable in the blood after ethanol ingestion, and on that basis have been proposed as markers of ethanol intake.

The antioxidant activities of naturally occurring plant compounds were measured in a lipid peroxidation system consisting of ethyl arachidonate and Fenton's reagent. Inhibitory effects of 24 plant-derived flavonoids and 5 phenolic acids on malonaldehyde (MA) formation from ethyl arachidonate were

Recent investigations in our laboratory showed that voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) in brain are sensitive to inhibition by various synthetic cannabinoids and endocannabinoids. The present experiments examined the effects of the cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor agonist CP-55,940 and ethyl arachidonate on
