Abstract

A procedure using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described for the separation of major primary cyclooxygenase metabolites (prostacyclin metabolite-6ketoPGF, thromboxane B2, and prostaglandins F, E2, and D2), leukotrienes (C4, B4, and D4), monohydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (15-, 11-, 12-, and 5HETEs), and free arachidonic acid. It is therefore possible to quantitate major arachidonic acid metabolites by a single chromatographic procedure. Using this technique we have determined that a major arachidonic acid metabolite of human lung macrophages co-elutes with leukotriene B4.
