This study documents that chlorinated analogs of leukotoxin diol 1, in which the vic-diol has been replaced with vic-chlorides (2), induce caspase 3 activity and apoptosis on HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner in analogy to the parent diol. This sugge

A 'chiral-pool' approach was employed to synthesize various leukotrienes (slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis, SRS-A) enantiospecifically. The pivotal (S,S)-trans-epoxy alcohol 9 was prepared by efficient and facile routes starting from erythorbic acid (D-araboascorbic acid, 13). This epoxide could also be produced starting from D-glucose. The epimeric (S,R)-cis-epoxide 38 was obtained utilizing L-tartaric acid as the chiral starting material. Elaboration of 9 into leukotriene A4 methyl ester (5) and the potassium salts of leukotrienes C4 (4a), D4 (4b), and E4 (4c) was accomplished by standard methods. These salts exhibited potent contractile activities in the in vitro guinea pig ileum assay. Reduction of 14,15-dehydroleukotriene A4 methyl ester (44) with tritium gas gave [14,15-3H2]-5 and subsequently the dimethyl ester of [14,15-3H2]leukotriene E4 having a high specific activity of 40 Ci/mmol.
Smooth muscle contractile activities of leukotriene analogues

Chemical modification in the hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions of leukotrienes was investigated in relation to their smooth muscle contractile activities. The conjugated diene or triene moeity in the hydrophobic region is crucial for potent contractile
