A method of simultaneous one-stage synthesis of three retinal derivatives (5,6-dioxo-5,6-seco-, 5,6-dihydro-5,6-epoxy-, and 4-oxoretinal) was proposed, with the yield of the first derivative being ～50%. These compounds are useful tools for studying the an

(E)-Retinoic acid (RA) was shown to stimulate the rate of 2,2'-azobis(2- amidinopropane) (AAPH)-initiated autoxidation of linoleic acid (18:2) in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles. RA-dependent stimulation of 18:2 autoxidation was characterized by enhanced rates of dioxygen uptake which were linear with retinoid concentration. In contrast, 5,6-epoxy-RA, a major oxidation product of RA, failed to affect the rate of dioxygen consumption at all concentrations tested. RA was also shown to stimulate peroxyl radical- dependent oxidation of styrene to the corresponding oxirane when styrene was included in the micellar system as a molecular probe. Furthermore, unequivocal evidence of RA-dependent stimulation of 18:2 autoxidation was obtained by relative quantitation of 13-hydroxy-(9Z, 11E)-octadecadienoic acid (13-HODE) plus 9-hydroxy-(10E,12Z)-octadecadienoic acid (9-HODE) production. In addition, enhanced carboncentered radical formation was demonstrated in the presence of RA by EPR spectroscopy using α-(4-pyridyl 1- oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone (4-POBN) as a spin trap. Analysis and quantitation of RA oxidation products indicated that RA was oxidized to one primary product, 5,6-epoxy-RA, which was identified on the basis of cochromatography with synthetic standard (in a reverse-phase HPLC system), electronic absorption spectroscopy, and positive chemical ionization mass spectrometry of the corresponding methyl ester. Other minor oxidation products were also detected but not characterized. In contrast, reaction mixtures devoid of 18:2 failed to demonstrate significant retinoid oxidation. Mechanisms are proposed to account for the prooxidant effects of RA in this system.

Cooxidative metabolism of all-trans (E)-retinoic acid (RA) by prostaglandin H synthase was investigated employing ram seminal vesicle microsomes (RSVM) or purified, RSVM-derived enzyme. RA was shown to undergo hydroperoxide [H2O2 or 5-phenyl-4-penten-1-yl hydroperoxide (PPHP)]- or arachidonic acid-dependent cooxidation by microsomal prostaglandin H (PGH) synthase as evidenced by UV spectroscopic analysis of reaction mixtures. Cooxidation of RA by microsomal or purified PGH synthase, using PPHP as substrate, was characterized by uptake of dioxygen which was first order with respect to enzyme concentration. Dioxygen uptake was inhibited by the peroxidase reducing substrate 2-methoxyphenol. In addition, O2 uptake was inhibited by the spin trap nitrobenzene. ESR spin trapping studies, using α-phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone (PBN) as the spin trap, demonstrated the formation of RAP-PBN adducts, characterized by hyperfine coupling constants of aH = 3.2 G and aN = 15.8 G. Reverse phase HPLC analysis of reaction mixtures demonstrated the formation of 4-hydroxy-RA, 5,6-epoxy-RA, 4-oxo-RA, (13Z)-retinoic acid, and other geometric isomers which were identified on the basis of cochromatography with synthetic standards, UV spectroscopy, and/or mass spectrometry. Mechanisms are proposed for the hydroperoxide-dependent, PGH synthase-catalyzed oxidation of RA that are consistent with these results.
