Lipoxygenases (LOs) are non-heme iron-containing dioxygenases that catalyze the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids to generate unsaturated fatty acid hydroperoxides.1 The immediate products of 15-LO fatty acid oxidation act as mediators in inflammation, thrombosis, and cancer.2 CBDD is a cannabidiol derivative that potently and selectively inhibits 15-LO with an IC50 value of 0.28 µM.3 It does not inhibit 5-LO effectively (IC50 >200 µM).3
