(±) 5-HEPE
(±) 5-HEPE is a non-enzymatic oxidation product of EPA, comprising both 5 (S) and 5 (R) isomers, with the 5 (S) isomer typically mediating biological activity in mammalian systems. This 5-series eicosanoid and its metabolites, such as 5-oxoEPE and LTB5, are studied in inflammation research using neutrophil and eosinophil models to compare their potencies to arachidonate-derived mediators.
