Protectin conjugates in tissue regeneration 1 (PCTR1) is a specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) synthesized from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; Item No. 90310).1 DHA is oxidized to 16S,17S-epoxy-protectin, which is then converted to PCTR1 by glutathione S-transferase.1,2 PCTR1 levels increase during resolution of acute microbial-induced peritonitis in mice.3 PCTR1 (30 ng, i.p.) administration 12 hours post-infection increases macrophage numbers and activity and shortens the resolution phase of inflammation by 57%. It also reduces the levels of PGE2 (Item No. 14010), PGD2 (Item No. 12010), and TXB2 (Item No. 19030) in peritoneal exudates.
