N2 - An enantiospecific route for the synthesis of 11,12-dihydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids was developed and used to synthesize 11,12-dihydroxy-5(Z),7(E),9(E),14(Z)-eicosatetraenoic acids. The 11,12-DHETEs were synthesized with the stereochemistry of the hydroxyl group being 11(R),12(S) and 11(S),12(S). The synthetic compounds were used to elucidate the structure of 11,12-DHETEs formed in human platelets by comparison of the chromatographic retention time in HPLC and GC as well as their ion fragmentation pattern in GC-MS. The major 11,12-DHETE formed in human platelets was found to be identical with 11(R),12(S)-dihydroxy-5(Z),7(E),9(E),14(Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid. Two more compounds were tentatively identified as 11(S),12(S)-dihydroxy-5(Z),7(E),9(E),14(Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid and 11,12-dihydroxy-5(E),7(E),9(E),14(Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid. Furthermore, the 11(S),12(S)-dihydroxy-5(Z),7(E),9(E),14(Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid was found to possess biological activity on neutrophil functional responses. However, the major compound, 11(R),12(S)-dihydroxy-5(Z),7(E),9(E),14(Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid, formed in platelets lacks biological activity in the test systems used. The present data further support that 11,12-dihydroxy-eicosatetranoic acids are formed in human platelets via a leukotriene like mechanism presumably by the 12-lipoxygenase. Furthermore, the biological effects of one of the compounds showed a unique activity profile compared to other lipoxygenase products.
