(±)5-HEPE is a drug isomer produced through the non-enzymatic oxidation of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), comprising equal amounts of the 5(S) and 5(R) isomers. The biological activity of (±)5-HEPE is primarily attributed to the 5(S) isomer, which plays a role in various mammalian biological systems. In human and bovine neutrophils, as well as human eosinophils, EPA is metabolized to 5-HEPE, which can further be converted to 5-oxoEPE and LTB5. It is important to note that the 5-series metabolites of EPA exhibit significantly reduced biological effects in comparison to metabolites derived from arachidonic acid.
