CU-6PM is a new fluorescent RXR agonist. CU-6PMN was designed based on the fact that umbelliferone emits strong fluorescence in a hydrophilic environment, but the fluorescence intensity decreases in hydrophobic environments such as the interior of proteins. The developed assay CU-6PMN enabled screening of rexinoids to be performed easily within a few hours by monitoring changes of fluorescence intensity with widely available fluorescence microplate readers, without the need
for processes such as filtration.
TCV-309 is an inhibitor of platelet activating factor (PAF). TCV-309 reduces graft PMN infiltration and enhances early function of 24-hour-preserved rat kidneys with long warm ischemia. TCV-309 attenuates the priming effects of bronchoalveolar macrophages
MK-287 (L-680573) is a platelet activator (PAF) antagonist that effectively inhibates the binding of [3H]C18-PAF to human platelets, polynucleated white blood cells (PMN), and pulmonary membranes. May be used to treat asthma,
Resolvin E2 (RvE2) is a member of the specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) family of bioactive lipids.1It is produced from eicosapentaenoic acidviaan 18-HEPE intermediate, which is formed by aspirin-acetylated COX-2-mediated oxidation of EPA, by 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) in human polymorphonuclear (PMN) neutrophils.2,3RvE2 (20 ng/animal) inhibits increases in inflammatory exudate neutrophil infiltration in a mouse model of peritonitis induced by zymosan A .3Hepatic RvE2 levels are increased in mice fed normal chow, as well as in a mouse model of high-fat diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), by dietary supplementation with EPA.4Plasma levels of RvE2 are increased by dietary supplementation with fish oil containing ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in patients with peripheral artery disease or chronic kidney disease.1,5,6

Resolvins are a family of potent lipid mediators derived from both eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid.[1] In addition to being anti-inflammatory, resolvins promote the resolution of the inflammatory response back to a non-inflamed state.[2] Resolvin D1 is produced physiologically from the sequential oxygenation of DHA by 15- and 5-lipoxygenase.[1] 17(R)-RvD1 is an aspirin-triggered epimer of RvD1 that reduces human polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) transendothelial migration, the earliest event in acute inflammation, with equipotency to RvD1 (EC50 = ~30 nM).[3] 17(R)-RvD1 exhibits a dose-dependent reduction in leukocyte infiltration in a mouse model of peritonitis with maximal inhibition of ~35% at a 100 ng dose.[3] In contrast to RvD1, the aspirin-triggered form resists rapid inactivation by eicosanoid oxidoreductases. Analytical and biological comparisons of synthetic 17(R)-RvD1 with endogenously derived 17(R)-RvD1 have confirmed its identity as matching the natural product.[4]
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.

Resolvin conjugate in tissue regeneration 1 (RCTR1) is a specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) biosynthesized from docosahexaenoic acid by isolated human macrophages and apoptotic polymorphonuclear (PMN) neutrophils.1It has been found in human spleen and bone marrow.2RCTR1 is produced via lipoxygenase-mediated oxidation of DHA to 7(S)-8-epoxy-17(S)-HDHA, which is conjugated to glutathione.1,2,3RCTR1 (10 nM) increases phagocytosis ofE. colior apoptotic neutrophils in isolated human monocyte-derived macrophages.2It decreases chemotaxis induced by leukotriene B4in isolated human neutrophils when used at a concentration of 10 nM. RCTR1 (1 and 10 nM) accelerates tissue regeneration in planaria. Intraperitoneal administration of RCTR1 (100 ng/animal) shortens the inflammatory resolution period and decreases inflammatory exudate neutrophil infiltration in a mouse model ofE. coli-induced peritonitis.

Docosahexaenoic acid is a nutritionally-derived ω-3 fatty acid that is abundant in the brain and the retina and is thought to be important in early development and for therapeutic approaches to inflammatory disorders and cancer. 14(S)-HDHA is an oxygenation product of DHA that serves as a precursor to maresin 1 , an anti-inflammatory, pro-resolving mediator that prevents polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) infiltration and stimulates macrophage phagocytosis. At doses as low as 0.2 ng/mouse 14(S)-HDHA administration resulted in reduced infiltration of PMNs into sites of inflammation.
