(±)14(15)epete

(±)14(15)-EpETE, an eicosatetraenoic acid derivative containing an epoxy group, is an intestinal microbial lipid metabolite that attenuates cisplatin chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in rats by inhibiting Substance P release through targeting GCG PKA signaling and is commonly used to study inflammation and metabolism.

17R(18S)-EpETE is an oxylipin and a cytochrome P450 metabolite of eicosapentaenoic acid .1,217R(18S)-EpETE is an activator of large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BKCa) channels, increasing the potassium current amplitude by 15-fold in isolated rat cerebral artery vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) at +60 mV when used at a concentration of 50 nM.2It has negative chronotropic effects in isolated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs; EC50= ~1-2 nM) and prevents calcium-induced increases in the spontaneous beating of NRCMs.3,4 1.Schwarz, D., Kisselev, P., Ericksen, S.S., et al.Arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acid metabolism by human CYP1A1: Highly steroselective formation of 17(R), 18(S)-epoxyeicosatetraenoic acidBiochem.

(±)8(9)-EpETE ((±)8,9-EEQ) is an epoxide of arachidonic acid biosynthesized by cytochrome P-450 (CYP450) epoxy synthase, which is specific for glomerular protection, dose-dependently prevents fspf-induced Palb, activation of Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels, and is used in the study of cardiovascular disease.
