(±)5-HEPE is produced by non-enzymatic oxidation of EPA resulting in a racemic mixture of 5-HEPE. The biological activity is likely mediated by one of the individual isomers, most the 5(S) isomer in mammalian systems. EPA can be metabolized to 5-HEPE in bovin and human neutrophils, as well as human eosinophils, which is further metabolized to 5-oxoEPE and LTB5. The 5-series metabolites of EPA, namely 5-HEPE, 5-oxoEPE, and LTB5, have significantly decreased biological effects compared to the arachidonic acid-derived metabolites.
