Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a synthetic chemical method for preparing ω-hydroxylated polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) including 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), 20-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid (20-HEPE), and 22-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid (22-HDoHE) and a method of use thereof for treating cancer and macular degeneration.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating cancer or macular degeneration, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a ω-hydroxylated polyunsaturated fatty acid, or an ester form thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, wherein the ω-hydroxylated polyunsaturated fatty acid is selected from the group consisting of 20-HEPE, 22-HdoHE, or mixtures thereof. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the ω-hydroxylated polyunsaturated fatty acid inhibits tumor growth, angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, or combinations thereof.
