    Product Description

    Maresin conjugates in tissue regeneration 3 (MCTR3) is a specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) synthesized from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; Item No. 90310) in macrophages.1,2 DHA is oxidized to maresin 1 (MaR1; Item No. 10878), which is converted to MCTR1 (Item No. 17007) by glutathione S-transferase Mu 4 or leukotriene C4 synthase, then to MCTR2 (Item No. 17008) by γ-glutamyl transferase, and to MCTR3 by dipeptidase.3 MCTR3 accelerates tissue regeneration in planaria (1 and 100 nM) approximately as potently as MCTR2 and more potently than MCTR1.2 Pretreatment with MCTR3 prior to E. coli administration in mice reduces neutrophil infiltration, shortens the inflammatory resolution period, and increases phagocytosis of E. coli by macrophages. When administered at a dose of 100 ng 12h post E. coli infection in a mouse model of peritonitis, MCTR3 selectively reduces the amount of the eicosanoids PGD2 (Item No. 12010), PGE2 (Item No. 14010), PGF (Item No. 16010), and TXB2 (Item No. 19030) in the exudate.
