Two novel beta-oxidation products of peptido leukotrienes, 16-carboxy-17,18,19,20-tetranor-14,15-dihydro-N-acetyl LTE4 and 18-carboxy-19,20-dinor-N-acetyl LTE4, were prepared by total synthesis and used to identify previously unknown polar rat biliary metabolites. When [3H] LTC4 and synthetic N-acetyl-LTE4 were administered intravenously to anesthetized inbred male rats, extraction of the bile and subsequent reverse-phase HPLC fractionation allowed the isolation of two novel metabolites of N-acetyl-LTE4. Comparison of U.V. spectra and coelution experiments revealed that these metabolites correspond to the above-mentioned synthetic beta-oxidation products. This was further confirmed by the coelution of the corresponding methyl esters. Oxidative ozonolysis of the metabolically produced 16-carboxy-17,18,19,20-tetranor-14,15-dihydro-N-acetyl LTE4 (major metabolite) confirmed the absence of the 14,15-unsaturation. The presence of these metabolites indicates that peptide leukotrienes undergo N-acetylation followed by omega and subsequent beta-oxidation in the anesthetized rat.
