The synthesis and assessment of the mitogenic properties of 5-HETE congener
s are reported. These studies represent an effort to develop a structure-ac
tivity profile For ligands of the 5-HETE/5-oxoETE G-protein coupled recepto
r(s). Many of these agents possess mitogenic activity that equals or exceed
s that of racemic 5-HETE family constituents in prostate cancer cell lines.
