Human seminal fluid was recently found to contain 18,19-dehydroprostaglandins E1 and E2 (E. H. Oliw, H. Sprecher, and M. Hamberg, (1986) J. Biol. Chem.261, 2675–2683). In the present study, the cis and trans isomers of 18,19-dehydroprostaglandins E1 and E2 were prepared by incubation of microsomes of ram vesicular glands and glutathione with the precursor fatty acids, 8(Z),11(Z),14(Z),18(EZ)-eicosatetraenoic acids, and 5(Z),8(Z),11(Z),14(Z),18(EZ)-eicosapentaenoic acids, and used as references to characterize the 18,19-dehydroprostaglandins of human seminal fluid. Based on separation by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, capillary gas chromatographymass spectrometry, and ozonolysis of the (−)-menthoxycarbonyl derivatives and on comparison with the authentic compounds, human seminal fluid was found to contain both the cis and trans isomers of 18,19-dehydroprostaglandins E1 and E2. Furthermore, human seminal fluid contained two related compounds, viz. 19,20-dehydroprostaglandins E1 and E2. The structures of these compounds were established by conversion into the corresponding prostaglandin B compounds, by mass spectrometric analysis and by chemical degradation by oxidative ozonolysis, which afforded, inter alia, 2(S)-hydroxyadipic acid.
