Nitro-fatty acids (NO2FAs) are endogenously produced electrophiles and NRF2 activators with therapeutic potential. We developed a synthetic protocol combining a Henry reaction and base-promoted β-elimination, yielding ultrapure regio/stereoisomers of nitro-stearic (NO2SA), nitro-oleic (NO2OA), and conjugated/bis-allylic nitro-linoleic (NO2LA) acids. These were tested for NRF2 pathway activation in bone marrow cells under different oxygen conditions. We observed that 9- and 10-NO2OA, and 10-NO2LA increased NRF2 stabilization under hypoxia, while 9- and 10-NO2OA significantly upregulated Hmox1 and Gclm at all oxygen levels. 9- and 10-NO2OA enhanced HO-1 and GCLM proteins independently of oxygen, while 10-NO2LA was oxygen-dependent, boosting HO-1 under hypoxia and GCLM under ambient conditions. Moreover, 10-NO2OA and 10-NO2LA induced NRF2 nuclear translocation. In contrast, the saturated 10-NO2SA, which has lower electron-acceptor ability, was inactive. In summary, these findings suggest the biological activity of NO2FAs is dependent on oxygen level, which could be used in future research of other oxidative stress-dependent pathways.
