Maresin conjugates in tissue regeneration 1 (MCTR1) is a specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) synthesized from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; Item No. 90310) in macrophages at the site of inflammation.1,2 DHA is oxidized to maresin 1 (MaR1; Item No. 10878), which is then converted to MCTR1 by glutathione S-transferase Mu 4 or leukotriene C4 synthase.3,4,5 MCTR1 accelerates tissue regeneration in planaria (1 and 100 nM).2 Pretreatment with MCTR1 (50 ng/mouse, i.p.) prior to E. coli administration reduces neutrophil infiltration, shortens the inflammatory resolution period, and increases phagocytosis of E. coli by macrophages.2 When administered at a dose of 100 ng 12h post E. coli infection in a mouse model of peritonitis, MCTR1 reduces the amount of eicosanoids in the exudate.
