Resolvins and protectins are important anti-inflammatory and pro-resolution compounds derived from the enzymatic oxidation of omega-3 fatty acids all-cis-5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and all-cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). We have developed a simple, controlled method to synthesize an array of resolvin and protectin analogs from fatty acid starting materials using soybean 15-lipoxygenase. The conditions were optimized for the production of both mono-and dihydroxy derivatives, with enzyme concentration and pH found to have a significant effect on the reaction products. The methods were applied to five biologically important omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid substrates. Mono-and dihydroxy compounds were successfully synthesized from all substrates and the products were characterized by normal phase (NP) HPLC, GC-MS, TOF-MS, UV-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy. The methods could be further applied to any polyunsaturated fatty acids containing the cis-1,4,7,10-undecatetraene moiety to produce a range of novel compounds with potential biological activity.-Dobson, E.
