(±)9(10)-EpOME-d4

(±)9,10-EpOME-d₄ contains four deuterium atoms at the 9, 10, 12, and 13 positions. It is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of latanoprost by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry (MS). (±)9(10)-EpOME is the 9,10-cis epoxide of linoleic acid, generated by neutrophils during the oxidative burst.¹ It has been recovered from the lungs of hyperoxic rats and from humans with acute respiratory distress syndrome.² Mitochondrial dysfunction is the main feature of (±)9(10)-EpOME cytotoxicity, which may be due to the diol metabolites as well as the parent epoxide.^3,4
