Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are
cytochrome P-450 metabolites of arachidonic acid involved in
the regulation of vascular tone. The method of microbore column
high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection was
developed to determine 14,15-EET, 11,12-EET, and the mixture of 8,9-EET
and 5,6-EET. Tridecanoic acid (TA) was used as an internal standard.
EETs were reacted with 2-(2,3-naphthalimino)ethyl
trifluoromethanesulfonate (NT) to form highly fluorescent derivatives.
A C18 microbore column and a water-acetonitrile mobile
phase were used for separation. Samples were excited at 259 nm, and the
fluorescence was detected at 395 nm. The overall recoveries were 88%
for EETs and 40% for TA. EETs were detected in concentrations as low
as 2 pg (signal-to-noise ratio = 3). The method was used to
determine the EET production from endothelial cells (ECs). Bradykinin
and methacholine (10
6 M) stimulated an increase in the
production of EETs by ECs two- and fivefold, respectively. This
sensitive method may be used for determination of EETs at low
concentrations normally detected in complex biological samples.
