The metabolism of arachidonic acid (ARA) by cytochrome P450 ω/ω-1-hydroxylases leads to the formation of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), which is an important lipid-signaling molecule involved in regulation of vascular tone, angiogenesis, and inflammation. Development of a simple method to prepare 20-HETE would greatly facilitate the investigation of its biological activities. The nonpathogenic yeast Starmerella bombicola has been shown to convert exogenously added arachidonic acid to 20-HETE via the biosynthetic pathway of sophorolipids; however, the yield was low. Here we demonstrate that genetic knockout of multifunctional enzyme type 2 (MFE-2), which is involved in the β-oxidation of fatty acids, significantly increases the yield of ARA conversion to 20-HETE and allows practical preparation of 20-HETE.

Introduction: Oxylipins are mediators of oxidative stress. To characterize the underlying inflammatory processes and phenotype effect of iron metabolism disorders, we investigated the oxylipin profile in hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) and dysmetabolic iron overload syndrome (DIOS) patients.
Methods: An LC-MS/MS-based method was performed to quantify plasma oxylipins in 20 HH and 20 DIOS patients in fasting conditions and 3 h after an iron-rich meal in HH patients.

The eicosanoid metabolic pathway is responsible for mediating the production of various inflammatory factors that are closely related to the development and resolution of inflammation. In biological matrices, the major quantifying obstacles were shown to be the oxidation and low quantities of eicosanoids and their metabolites. This study aimed to develop a reliable, sensitive ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method to quantify eicosanoids in human serum.

CYP4 enzymes are involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics and endogenous molecules. 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), the arachidonic acid (AA) ω-hydroxylation metabolite catalyzed by CYP4A/4F enzymes, is implicated in various biological functions. The goal of this investigation is to examine the inhibitory effects of components from Salvia miltiorrhiza(Danshen) on AA ω-hydroxylation using recombinant CYP4A11, CYP4F2, CYP4F3B, and microsomal systems.
