12(S)-HEPE is a monohydroxy fatty acid that acts as a leukotriene receptor inhibitor. It is synthesized from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) through the action of 12-lipoxygenase (12-LO). In unstimulated neutrophils, 12(S)-HEPE is metabolized to 12(S),20-diHEPE, while stimulated neutrophils generate 5(S),12(S)-HEPE via the 5-lipoxygenase pathway. Its competitive inhibition of arachidonic acid as a substrate for 5-lipoxygenase in leukotriene formation supports its potential anti-inflammatory effects associated with omega-3 fatty acids.
