protectin d1

Protectin D1 (Neuroprotectin D1) is a neuroprotectin produced by neuronal cells and is a potential cardioprotective agent.Protectin D1 attenuates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and inhibits imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation by modulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

17(R)-Protectin D1 is an aspirin-triggered epimer of the specialized pro-resolving mediator protectin D1 .1It decreases leukotriene B4-induced transendothelial migration of human polymorphonuclear (PMN) neutrophils when used at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 nM. 17(R)-Protectin D1 (0.01-10 ng) reduces the recruitment of neutrophils in a mouse model of TNF-α-induced peritonitis. 1.Serhan, C.N., Fredman, G., Yang, R., et al.Novel proresolving aspirin-triggered DHA pathwayChem.

Novel oxylipins, referred to as docosanoids, have been derived from C22polyunsaturated fatty acids 7(S),17(S)-dihydroxy-8(E),10(Z),13(Z),15(E),19(Z)-Docosapentaenoic acid (7(S),17(S)-hydroxy DPA) is a DPA-derived analog of the 17(S)-dihydroxy series of docosanoids known as protectins. Protectin D1, a DHA-derived dihydroxy fatty acid, exhibits potent anti-inflammatory activities.1,2,3Potentially, 7(S),17(S)-hydroxy DPA demonstrates similar properties; however, its biological activity has yet to be determined. 1.Serhan, C.N., Gotlinger, K., Hong, S., et al.Anti-inflammatory actions of neuroprotectin D1/protectin D1 and its natural stereoisomers: Assignments of dihydroxy-containing docosatrienesJ.

Protectin D1 (also known as neuroprotectin D1 when produced in neuronal tissues) is a DHA-derived dihydroxy fatty acid that exhibits potent protective and anti-inflammatory activities. 10(S),17(S)-DiHDHA is a DHA metabolite, also referred to as protectin DX (PDX). It is produced by an apparent double lipoxygenase (LO)-mediated reaction in murine peritonitis exudates, in suspensions of human leukocytes, or by soybean 15-LO incubated with DHA. It differs from protectin D1 with respect to the stereochemistry of the C-10 hydroxyl and the double bond configuration at the 13 and 15 positions. 10(S),17(S)-DiHDHA blocks neutrophil infiltration in murine peritonitis by 20-25% at a dose of 1 ng/mouse. It also inhibits platelet activation by both impairing thromboxane (TX) synthesis and TX receptor activation.
