Notes: Resolvin D2 (RvD2) (Item No. 10007279) is a lipid mediator biosynthesized by the sequential oxygenation of docosahexaenoic acid by 15- and 5-lipoxygenase.{20052} It evokes diverse anti-inflammatory effects which may mediate the resolution of inflammation.{19640,18209} RvD2 methyl ester is a methyl ester version of the free acid which 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.
