Notes: Biosynthesis of LTA3 occurs from 5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid via the 5-LO pathway{689} and it is the putative intermediate in the biosynthesis of 3-series leukotrienes. LTA3 as a free acid is highly unstable. The methyl ester is stable and can be readily hydrolyzed to the free acid as needed.
