title: Enantioselective separation of some polyunsaturated epoxy fatty acids by high-performance liquid chromatography on a cellulose phenylcarbamate (Chiralcel OC) stationary phase.
abstract: cis-Epoxides of linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid and the omega 3-epoxide of eicosapentaenoic acid were chromatographed on a cellulose trisphenylcarbamate (Chiralcel OC) stationary phase in the normal-phase mode. The R,S and S,R enantiomers of methyl-14(15)epoxyeicosatrienoate, methyl-9(10)epoxyoctadecadienoate and methyl-9(10)epoxyoctadecenoate could be partly resolved. The R,S enantiomer of methyl-14(15)epoxyeicosatrienoate eluted before the S,R enantiomer. [14C]14(15)Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid was isolated from an incubation of [14C]20:4n-6 with microsomes of rabbit kidney cortex and the S,R enantiomer was found to predominate (about 2:1).
