Previously, we reported the formation of four kinds of pfaosphatidylcholines (PC) with a short-chain monocarboxylate, dicarboxylate, dicarboxylate semialdehyde or w-hydroxymonocarboxylate group by oxidation of PCs containing polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in an FeSO4 /ascorbate /EDTA system. In this study, we identified these novel phospholipids by GC-MS as oxidation products of two alkyl ether-linked PCs. 1-O-hexadecyl-2-docosahexaenoyl and 1-O-hexadecyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (GPC). The sn-2-acyl moieties of oxidatively fragmented PCs derived from PCs containing docosahexaenoate were one methylene unit shorter than those detected as major oxidation products of PCs containing arachidonate. The platelet-aggregations induced by the oxidized PCs were all inhibited by FR-900452, an antagonist of platelet activating factor (PAF). The PAF-like activity of oxidized 1-O-hexadecyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-GPC, which was equivalent of 1372 ± 262 pmol 16: 0-PAF/μmol starting PC, was 5 times that of oxidized 1-O-hexadecyl-2-arachidonoyl-GPC and 150 times that of oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-GPC, suggesting that both an sn-1-alkyl ether linkage and an sn-2-acyl group with a short chain length are important structural requirements for induction of platelet aggregation. These possibilities were confirmed by experiments on the platelet-aggregating activities of synthetic PAF-like compounds. Quantitative measurements by GC-MS of PAF-like phospholipids formed by lipid peroxidation and the activities of synthetic PAF-like phospholipids, suggested that the activities of most oxidized PCs containing PUFA were ascribable to those of PCs with an sn-2-short-chain monocarboxylate group.
