Synthesis of Resolvin E3, a Proresolving Lipid Mediator, and Its Deoxy Derivatives : Identification of 18-Deoxy-resolvin E3 as a Potent Anti-Inflammatory Agent

Abstract

We synthesized RvE3 and its deoxy derivatives, 17-deoxy-RvE3 and 18-deoxy-RvE3, by a common route via Sonogashira coupling as a key step. The evaluation of their anti-inflammatory activities revealed that 18-deoxy-RvE3 was remarkably more potent than the parent RvE3 and significantly active at a 300 fg dose in mice; additionally, 17-deoxy-RvE3 was significantly less potent than the parent RvE3. For the first time, we found that the 17-hydroxy group of RvE3 is very important for anti-inflammatory activity.
