15(S)-Hydroxyeicosa-(5Z,8Z,11Z,13E)-tetraenoic acid (15(S)-HETE) is a metabolite of arachidonic acid that elicits a number of biological effects including vasoconstriction and angiogenesis. (5Z,11Z,15R)-15-Hydroxyeicosa-5,11-dien-13-ynoic acid (HETE analog 1) is a synthetic isomer of 15(S)-HETE that is much more stable to autoxidation. Using isometric recording of isolated pulmonary arteries from male and female rabbits, HETE analog 1 and 15(S)-HETE were found to elicit concentration-dependent contractions that were slightly greater in females compared to males. The maximal response in females was greater with 15(S)-HETE. HETE analog 1 and 15(S)-HETE increased [3H]-thymidine incorporation in vascular smooth muscle cells cultured from male rabbit pulmonary arteries; both the maximal response and potency were greater with 15(S)-HETE. In contrast, HETE analog 1 produced a concentration-dependent inhibition in proliferation and migration of human hormone-independent prostate carcinoma PC-3 cells. The protocol for synthesis of HETE analog 1 is reported. The stability of this substance and its similar biological profile to 15(S)-HETE support future studies in eicosanoid research.
