Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of making 15-hydroxy fatty acid derivatives, such as 15-(S)-hydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (HETrE or 15-(S)-HETrE) or 15(S)-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid (HEPE or 15(S)-HEPE) from the corresponding fatty acid (e.g., dihomo-?-linolenic acid (DGLA) or eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), respectively). In some embodiments, the method comprises contacting the fatty acid with an oxidizing agent (e.g., a lipoxygenase and oxygen) in the presence of a reducing agent (e.g., cysteine) to form the 15-hydroxy fatty acid derivatives in a single reaction vessel.
