resolvin d-3

Resolvin D3 (RvD3), originating from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is a dysregulated mediator that plays a crucial role in reducing arthritic inflammation.

Resolvin D2 n-3 DPA (RvD2 n-3 DPA) is a specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM).1It is formed from docosapentaenoic acid , an intermediate in the conversion of eicosapentaenoic acid to docosahexaenoic acid , in human leukocytes. RvD2 n-3 DPA (1 nM) reduces TNF-α-induced chemotaxis and adhesion of isolated human neutrophils.In vivo, RvD2 n-3 DPA (100 ng/animal; i.v.) reduces peritoneal neutrophil infiltration and exudate levels of IL-6 and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) in a mouse model of zymosan-induced inflammation. 1.Dalli, J., Colas, R.A., and Serhan, C.N.Novel n-3 immunoresolvents: Structures and actionsSci.

Resolvin D3 methyl ester is a methyl ester version of the free acid that may act as a lipophilic prodrug form that will alter its distribution and pharmacokinetic properties. The methyl ester moiety is susceptible to cleavage by intracellular esterases, leaving the free acid.
