5(6)-EET is a fully racemic version of the enantiomeric forms biosynthesized from arachidonic acid (Item No. 90010) by cytochrome P450 enzymes.{463,729} In solution, 5(6)-EET degrades into 5,6-DiHET and 5(6)-?-lactone, which can be converted to 5(6)-DiHET and quantified by GC-MS.{39654} In neuroendocrine cells, such as the anterior pituitary and pancreatic islets, 5(6)-EET has been implicated in the mobilization of calcium and hormone secretion.{462,460} 5(6)-EET is an inhibitor of T-type voltage-gated calcium channels (Cav3) that inhibits isoforms Cav3.1, Cav3.2 (IC50 = 0.54 µM), and Cav3.3 and decreases nifedipine-resistant phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction in isolated mouse mesenteric arteries via Cav3.2 blockade when used at a concentration of 3 µM.{42110} In addition, it is a substrate of COX-1 and COX-2, as measured by oxygen consumption and product formation assays when used at a concentration of 50 µM.{34481} (±)5(6)-EET is provided as a mixture of the free acid and lactone.
