The syntheses and agonist and binding activities of 5(S)-hydroxy- 6(Z), 8(E), 10(E), 14(Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid (12-deoxy LTB4), 5(S), 12(S)-dihydroxy-6(Z), 8(E), 10(E), 14(Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid (12-epi LTB4), 12(R)-hydroxy-6(Z), 8(E), 10(E), 14(Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-deoxy LTB4), 5(R), 12(S)-dihydroxy-6(Z), 8(E), 10(E), 14(Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-epi LTB4), 6(Z), 8(E), 10(E), 14(Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid (5, 12-deoxy LTB4) are described. These leukotriene B4 analogs were all able to aggregate rat leukocytes and compete with [3H]-leukotriene B4 for binding to rat and human leukocyte leukotriene B4 receptors with varying efficacy. The analog in which the 12-hydroxyl group was removed was severely reduced both in agonist action (aggregation) and binding. The epimeric 12-hydroxyl analog demonstrated better agonist and binding properties than the analog without a hydroxyl at this position. In contrast, in the case of the 5-hydroxyl the epimeric hydroxyl analog had greatly reduced agonist and binding activities while the 5-deoxy analog demonstrated potency only several fold less than leukotriene B4 itself. The dideoxy leukotriene B4 analog was more than a thousand fold less active than leukotriene B4 as an agonist and in binding to the leukotriene B4 receptor. These results show that binding to the leukocyte leukotriene B4 receptor requires a hydroxyl group at the 12 position in either stereochemical orientation but that the presence of a hydroxyl at the 5 position is less important. However, the epimeric C5 leukotriene B4 analog clearly interacts unfavourably with the binding site of the leukotriene B4 receptor.
