5(6)-DiHET is a racemic compound synthesized through the action of epoxide hydrolases on 5(6)-EET, encompassing both enantiomeric forms. It serves as a quantitative marker for 5(6)-EET, facilitating its measurement by utilizing the compounds conversion to 5(6)-delta-lactone in solution. Additionally, 5(6)-DiHET activates large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (KCa1.1/BK) channels in rat small coronary artery smooth muscle cells, supporting its biological significance in vascular regulation. It also acts as a substrate for sheep seminal vesicle COX, leading to the in vitro production of 5,6-dihydroxy prostaglandin E1 and F1alpha metabolites. Notably, its levels diminish in the plasma of rats subjected to a high-fat diet, indicating a potential role in the pathophysiology of hyperlipidemia.
