Uses
(7S,8R,17S)-RCTR1 is a specialized pro-resolving mediator, that exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-infective activities. (7S,8R,17S)-RCTR1 promotes pathogen clearance, wound healing, tissue repair and regeneration[1].
Biological Activity
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.1 It has been found in human spleen and bone marrow.2 RCTR1 is produced via lipoxygenase-mediated oxidation of DHA to 7(S)-8-epoxy-17(S)-HDHA, which is conjugated to glutathione.1,2,3 RCTR1 (10 nM) increases phagocytosis of E. coli or apoptotic neutrophils in isolated human monocyte-derived macrophages.2 It decreases chemotaxis induced by leukotriene B4 in 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 of E. coli-induced peritonitis.
