Octadecanoids are a subset of oxylipins derived from 18-carbon fatty acids. These compounds have historically been understudied but have more recently attracted attention to their purported biological activity. One obstacle to the study of octadecanoids has been a lack of specific analytical methods for their measurement. A particular limitation has been the need for chiral-based methods that enable separation and quantification of individual stereoisomers. The use of chirality provides an additional dimension for distinguishing analytes produced enzymatically from those formed through autoxidation. In this chapter, we describe a comprehensive method using chiral supercritical fluid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SFC-MS/MS) for the quantification of octadecanoids in human plasma. This method stands as an effective approach for quantifying octadecanoids and is applicable to diverse research applications including clinical research.

Lipids are a structurally diverse class of biomolecules which can undergo a variety of chemical modifications. Among them, lipid (per)oxidation attracts most of the attention due to its significance in the regulation of inflammation, cell proliferation and death programs. Despite their apparent regulatory significance, the molecular repertoire of oxidized lipids remains largely elusive as accurate annotation of lipid modifications is complicated by their low abundance and often unknown, biological context-dependent structural diversity.

Octadecanoids are broadly defined as oxylipins ( lipid mediators) derived from 18-carbon fatty acids. In contrast to the well-studied eicosanoids, there is a lack of analytical methods for octadecanoids, hampering further investigations in the field. We developed an integrated workflow combining chiral separation by supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to tandem mass spectrometry detection for quantification of a broad panel of octadecanoids.

Oxylipins constitute a huge class of compounds produced by oxidation of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids either chemically (by radicals such as reactive oxygen species, ROS) or enzymatically (by lipoxygenases, LOX; cyclooxygenases, COX; or cytochrome P450 pathways). This process generates fatty acids peroxides, which can then be further modified in a broad range to epoxy, hydroxy, keto, ether fatty acids, and also hydrolyzed to generate small aldehydes and alcohols. In general, oxylipins are present in almost all living organisms and have a wide range of signaling, metabolic, physiological, and ecological roles depending on the particular organism and on their structure.

This study aimed to examine the ability of ulvan, a water-soluble polysaccharide from the green seaweed , to provide protection and induce resistance in wheat against the hemibiotrophic fungus . Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) analysis indicated that ulvan is mainly composed of unsaturated monosaccharides (rhamnose, rhamnose-3-sulfate, and xylose) and numerous uronic acid residues. In the greenhouse, foliar application of ulvan at 10 mg.
