title: Gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric analysis of high-performance liquid chromatographic fractions reflecting arachidonic acid metabolism in mouse peritoneal macrophages.
abstract: Mouse peritoneal macrophages are used as a model for studies undertaken around the oxidative metabolism of arachidonic acid elicited by xenobiotics (N-phenyllinoleamide, related to the toxic oil syndrome, has been used as an example). A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for cyclo- and lipoxygenase metabolite fractionation has been developed. Gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric analysis of the high-performance liquid chromatographic fractions thus obtained show that the major products detected in the incubates correspond to three principal structures: monohydroxy acids (12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid being the major component), epoxyhydroxy acids and trihydroxy acids. Other minor compounds such as 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid, various dihydroxy acids and prostaglandins were also detected. Cells pre-exposed to N-phenyllinoleamide show selectively enhanced levels of 6-keto prostaglandin F1 alpha, as measured by both gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and radioimmunoassay of the corresponding high-performance liquid chromatographic fraction.
