Product Description
8(R)-HETE is biosynthesized by arachidonic acid ester oxygenation in marine invertebrates such as sea fan corals and starfish. The stereochemical assignment of the (R) enantiomer was based on comparison of chiral HPLC retention times with published results.
8(R)-HETE (8(R)-hydroxy-5Z,9E,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid) is an oxidative metabolite of arachidonic acid produced primarily via the lipoxygenase pathway. Unlike 8(S)-HETE, which is mainly synthesized by mammalian 8-lipoxygenase, 8(R)-HETE is primarily biosynthesized in marine invertebrates such as gorgonian corals and starfish through lipoxygenation of arachidonic acid. As a bioactive lipid mediator derived from arachidonic acid, 8(R)-HETE plays key roles in regulating various cellular functions including migration, adhesion, and modulation of inflammatory mediator synthesis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Based on available literature, the enantiomer 8(S)-HETE has been demonstrated to be a selective activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) and activates mouse skin protein kinase C (PKC) at concentrations as low as 0.3 µM. Based on structure-activity relationships among lipid mediators, 8(R)-HETE may exhibit similar receptor binding properties. Furthermore, 8(R)-HETE has been identified as a key signaling molecule in the induction of starfish oocyte maturation.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies demonstrate that 8(R)-HETE effectively induces starfish oocyte maturation at concentrations as low as 0.071 μM. Notably, this bioactivity exhibits significant stereospecificity—8(S)-HETE shows negligible activity in this assay. The compound acts through 8(R)-HETE-dependent signaling pathways, with its precursor 8(R)-HpETE (8(R)-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid) identified as a putative intermediate in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins via the allene oxide synthase pathway in marine organisms. Additional studies suggest that 8(R)-HETE may share functional relevance with other HETE compounds such as 20-HETE, which has been shown to increase reactive oxygen species production in cardiomyocytes and stimulate L-type calcium channels through a protein kinase C-dependent mechanism.
ln Vivo
Research on the in vivo activity of 8(R)-HETE primarily comes from marine biology studies. In the starfish oocyte maturation model, this compound exhibits significant in vivo bioactivity at sub-micromolar concentrations. As 8(R)-HETE is primarily produced in marine invertebrates, its in vivo pharmacological effects may differ across species. Related studies also indicate that HETE family members are involved in various cardiovascular functions including blood pressure regulation and vascular tone control, suggesting that 8(R)-HETE may play roles in similar physiological processes.
Enzyme Assay
Cell-free assays for 8(R)-HETE can employ multiple analytical methods. A standard protocol includes: 1) Stereochemical assignment by chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with UV detection, comparing retention times to published results for enantiomer configuration determination; 2) UV spectrophotometric detection at 237 nm wavelength, corresponding to the characteristic absorption maximum of its conjugated diene chromophore (molar extinction coefficient ε ≈ 27,000); 3) Quantitative analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with deuterated internal standards (e.g., d8-8-HETE); 4) For receptor binding studies, surface plasmon resonance or fluorescence polarization techniques can be used to evaluate interactions with nuclear receptors such as PPARα.
Cell Assay
The in vitro cell assay protocol for 8(R)-HETE can be performed as follows: 1) Seed target cells (such as starfish oocytes, cardiomyocytes, or keratinocytes) in culture plates and culture at appropriate temperature; 2) Treat cells with various concentrations of 8(R)-HETE (typically ranging from 0.01-10 µM) for time periods determined by experimental objectives; 3) For starfish oocyte maturation assays, observe germinal vesicle breakdown as a marker of oocyte maturation; 4) For cell signaling studies, detect phosphorylation levels of signaling molecules including PKC, MAPK, and NF-κB by Western blot; 5) Observe cellular morphological changes and cell migration by fluorescence microscopy; 6) Detect intracellular reactive oxygen species levels using specific fluorescent probes. Include enantiomer controls such as 8(S)-HETE to assess stereospecificity.
Animal Protocol
Published in vivo animal data for 8(R)-HETE are currently limited. Based on its characteristics as a bioactive marine lipid, potential research protocols could include: 1) Select appropriate model organisms (such as starfish, mice, or rats); 2) Administer 8(R)-HETE via intraperitoneal or intravenous injection at doses to be determined through preliminary experiments (reference concentrations 0.1-10 µM); 3) For starfish models, observe morphological indicators of oocyte maturation; 4) For mammalian models, measure cardiovascular parameters including blood pressure and heart rate, and detect plasma levels of inflammatory cytokines; 5) At study termination, euthanize animals and collect target tissues for histopathological examination; 6) Quantify 8(R)-HETE and its metabolite levels in tissues by LC-MS/MS.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Systematic pharmacokinetic data for 8(R)-HETE are extremely limited in publicly available literature. This compound is typically supplied as a solution in ethanol and should be stored at -20°C to maintain stability. As an endogenous lipid mediator, its in vivo concentrations are regulated by multiple factors including substrate (arachidonic acid) availability and metabolic enzyme activities. 8(R)-HETE can be extracted and quantified from biological matrices (plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernatants) using solid-phase extraction coupled with LC-MS/MS. This compound is classified as a dangerous good for transport and requires shipping on dry ice.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
According to supplier Material Safety Data Sheets, 8(R)-HETE is classified as a dangerous good for transport, requiring additional shipping charges. This product is for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or human use. Systematic toxicological data for 8(R)-HETE, including acute toxicity, genotoxicity, and reproductive toxicity, have not been fully reported in publicly available literature. As an endogenous lipid mediator, it generally does not exhibit obvious cytotoxicity at physiological concentrations. However, at high concentrations, HETE family members may affect cellular function by inducing oxidative stress. Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used during handling and storage, following standard chemical safety practices.
