Abstract

The type IIB eicosanoids, 12(R),20- and 12(S),20-dihydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (DiHETE), were conveniently synthesized utilizing a carbohydrate-derived bis-lactol as a differentiated 4-hydroxyhex-2(E)-enedial chiron. 12(S),20-DiHETE, but not the 12(R)-isomer, induced vasodilation in precontracted canine arteries.
