Despite the implication of polyunsaturated fatty acid monoepoxides in a large panel of biological effects, few methods allowing their separation in a single run are available. We describe here a simple method based on reversed-phase ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and developed to successfully separate the various monoepoxides of eicosatrienoic, arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids. These compounds were easily identified by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) with atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation owing to the volatility of counter-ion species. Compared to established methods, this new protocol proved its ability to totally resolve, in a single run, all of the different regioisomeric epoxides. In the long run, this method will demonstrate its efficacy to give insights into the cytochrome P450-dependent metabolism of polyunsatured fatty acids (PUFAs) and the generation of physiologically active epoxy-derivatives.
