Notes: 6-trans LTB4 is produced by the non-enzymatic hydrolysis of LTA4.{530} Oxidative decomposition of cysteinyl-leukotrienes such as LTC4 in the presence of myeloperoxidase and hypochlorous acid can also produce 6-trans LTB4, but the physiologic importance of this mechanism is not clear.{531} 6-trans LTB4 is relatively inactive compared to LTB4, but chemoattractant properties in neutrophils have been reported.{83}
