Vicinal nitrohydroxyeicosatrienoic acids: vasodilator lipids formed by reaction of nitrogen dioxide with arachidonic acid

M Balazy et al. J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2001 Nov.

Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO)-derived species could potentially react with arachidonic acid to generate novel vasoactive metabolites. We studied the reaction of arachidonic acid with nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a free radical that originates from NO oxidation. The reaction mixture contained lipid products that relaxed endothelium-removed bovine coronary arteries. Relaxation to the lipid mixture was inhibited approximately 20% by indomethacin and approximately 70% by a soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) inhibitor (ODQ). Thus, novel lipid products, which activate sGC presumably through a mechanism involving NO, appeared to have contributed to the observed vasorelaxation. Lipids that eluted at 9 to 12 min during high-performance liquid chromatography fractionation accounted for about one-half of the vasodilator activity in the reaction mixture, which was inhibited by ODQ. Lipid products in fractions 9 to 12 were identified by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry to be eight isomers having molecular weight of 367 and a fragmentation pattern indicative of arachidonic acid derivatives containing nitro and hydroxy groups and consistent with the structures of vicinal nitrohydroxyeicosatrienoic acids. These lipids spontaneously released NO (183 +/- 12 nmol NO/15 min/micromol) as detected by head space/chemiluminescence analysis. Mild alkaline hydrolysis of total lipids extracted from bovine cardiac muscle followed by isotopic dilution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis detected basal levels of nitrohydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (6.8 +/- 2.6 ng/g tissue; n = 4). Thus, the oxidation product of NO, NO2, reacts with arachidonic acid to generate biologically active vicinal nitrohydroxyeicosatrienoic acids, which may be important endogenous mediators of vascular relaxation and sGC activation.
