Protectin D1 is a specialized pro-resolving mediator with potent pro-resolving and anti-inflammatory effects in vivo in several human disease models. Herein the preparation of the first synthetic analog of protectin D1, named 22-F-PD1, is presented together with data from in vivo investigations. This analog showed potent pro-resolving and anti-inflammatory properties. These results inspired the preparation of the radiotracer 22-[18F]F-PD1-ME that was used in a positron emission tomography proof of concept study. Altogether, the findings presented contribute to new knowledge on the biomolecular properties of protectin D1 analogs. In addition, an improved formal synthesis of the metabolite 22-OH-PD1 is reported.

The potential modulation of thyroid inflammatory conditions via a gluten-free diet has been suggested after establishing a link between Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and celiac disease. However, the majority of targeted studies in this field do not support the general recommendation of prescribing a gluten-free diet (GFD) for all HT patients. This study aims to analyze data regarding the impact of a GFD supplemented with eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), along with vegetables, on the course of inflammation involving long-chain fatty acid mediators.

Antiviral therapy based on neuraminidase (oseltamivir) or polymerase (baloxavir marboxil) inhibitors plays an important role in the management of influenza infections. However, the emergence of drug resistance and the uncontrolled inflammatory response are major limitations in the treatment of severe influenza disease. Protectins D1 (PD1) and DX (PDX), part of a family of pro-resolving mediators, have previously demonstrated anti-influenza activity as well as anti-inflammatory properties in various clinical contexts.

Glaucoma is a complex neurodegenerative disease characterized by optic nerve damage and visual field loss, and remains a leading cause of irreversible blindness. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a critical risk factor that requires effective management. Emerging research underscores dual roles of bioactive lipid mediators in both IOP regulation, and the modulation of neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation in glaucoma.

Resolvins, protectins and maresins are a series of polyunsaturated fatty acid-derived molecules which play important roles in the resolution of inflammation. They are termed specialized proresolving mediators and facilitate a return to homeostasis following an inflammatory response. These molecules are currently the focus of intensive investigation, primarily for their ability to suppress inflammation in chronic disease states.

Specialized proresolving mediators (SPMs) have demonstrated potent analgesic actions in animal models of pathological pain. The actions of SPMs in acute and chronic itch are currently unknown. Recently, n-3 docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) was found to be a substrate for the biosynthesis of several novel families of SPMs and 3-oxa-PD1 n-3 DPA (3-oxa-PD1) is an oxidation-resistant metabolic stable analogue of the n-3 DPA-derived protectin D1 (PD1).
