The molecule is a member of the class of resolvins that consists of docosa-4Z,9E,11E,13Z,15E,19Z-hexaenoic acid carrying three hydroxy substituents at positions 7, 8, and 17 (the 7S,8R,17S-stereoisomer). It has a role as an anti-inflammatory agent, an antiviral agent, an analgesic, a TGFbeta receptor antagonist, a nephroprotective agent, an anti-allergic agent and a human xenobiotic metabolite. It is a resolvin, a secondary allylic alcohol and a hydroxy polyunsaturated fatty acid.
(4Z,7S,8R,9E,11E,13Z,15E,17R,19Z)-7,8,17-trihydroxydocosa-4,9,11,13,15,19-hexaenoic acid
