Resolvin D2-d5 is the deuterium labeled Resolvin D2. Resolvin D2 is a metabolite of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), with anti-inflammatory, anti-infective activities. Resolvin D2 is a potent regulator of leukocytes and controls microbial sepsis. Resolvin D2 is a remarkably potent inhibitor of TRPV1 (IC50 = 0.1 nM) and TRPA1 (IC50 = 2 nM) in primary sensory neurons[1][2][3]. | [Biological Activity]
Resolvin D2-d5 (RvD2-d5) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of resolvin D2 by GC- or LC-MS. Resolvins are a family of potent lipid mediators derived from both eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).1 In addition to being anti-inflammatory, resolvins promote the resolution of the inflammatory response back to a non-inflamed state.2 Resolvin D2 is produced physiologically from the sequential oxygenation of DHA by 15- and 5-lipoxygenase and functions to dampen excessive neutrophil trafficking to sites of inflammation.3 It reduces zymosan-stimulated PMN infiltration by 70% at doses as low as 10 pg per mouse and significantly reduces PAF-stimulated leukocyte adherence and emigration at 1 nM.3 Also, by stimulating nitric oxide production, resolvin D2 dose dependently decreases leukocyte-endothelial interactions. In a murine model of sepsis, resolvin D2 reduces leukocyte and PMN infiltration, decreases production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and promotes phagocyte-mediated bacterial clearance.3 | [References]
