Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) is a trihydroxy fatty acid containing a conjugated tetraene, produced by the metabolism of (±)15-HETE or 15-HpETE with human leukocytes.[1] LXA4 is equipotent to leukotriene B4 in inducing superoxide generation in human neutrophils at 0.1 µM.2 LXA4 is associated with several other biological functions including leukocyte activation, chemotaxis effects, natural killer cell inhibition, and monocyte migration and adhesion.[2],[3],[4] Analytical and biological comparisons of synthetic LXA4 with endogenously derived LXA4 have confirmed its identity as matching the natural product.[5]

LXA4 Attenuated Septic AKI via Inhibition of PPAR-g/NF-kB Pathway.As shown in Figure 6B, LXA4 pretreatment significantly inhibited the activation of NFkB p65 (p-p65), p53, and p21, and the changes were reversed by GW9662.
To further explore the renoprotective effect of LXA4 on AKI induced by sepsis, rats were pretreated with LXA4(GlpBio) (100 μg/kg, i.v.) prior to CLP surgery.

LXA4 was relatively insufficient for the inflammatory response in patients with acute gout.The levels of IL-1b, TNF-a, and LXA4 in the serum of patients with acute gout (n=39), patients with intercritical gout (n=27), and healthy controls (n=30) detected by ELISA.
Moreover, THP-1 macrophages primed with LPS were pretreated with 150 nM LXA4(GlpBio) and tBHQ or auranofin for 1 h, followed by 100 ug/ml MSU stimulation for 24 h.

LXA4 treatment alleviated the increase in body weight and fat mass of mice caused by HFD.LXA4 treatment notably reduced the body weight of mice with HFD (p<0.001, figure 1A), but exerted few effects on food intake (figure 1B) of mice with HFD and the body weight and food intake of normally reared mice (figure 1A-B).
Control + LXA4 group, mice were injected intraperitoneally with 5 ng/g/day LXA4(GlpBio) solution for 3 consecutive days, and then mice subsequently were fed with normal diet for 9 weeks.
