Abstract
Oxidation of arachidonic acid ethanolamide (anandamide) and eicosapent aenoic acid ethanolamide by soybean 15-lipoxygenase was studied by UV spectroscopy. The K-M values for both amides (3.2 and 4.9 mu M, respec tively) proved to be similar to that for arachidonic acid. Products of double lipoxygenase oxidation were identified in the reaction mixture at an enzyme-substrate ratio of 500 : 1.
