General description

A epimeric lipoxin A4 (Cat. No. 437720) analog that is more potent and metabolically stable than LXA4. Exhibits anti-inflammatory properties and serves as a "stop signal" to excessive leukocyte trafficking/infiltration. Blocks TNF-α-induced IL-8 release in human enterocyte. It is also an important modulator of the many pharmacological actions caused by aspirin.
