The molecule is a member of the class of resolvins that is (5Z,8Z,11Z,13E,15E)-icosapentaenoic acid which is substituted at positions 17 and 18 by hydroxy groups (the 17,18R) stereoisomer). It has a role as an anti-inflammatory agent. It is a diol, a resolvin, a secondary allylic alcohol and a hydroxy polyunsaturated fatty acid.
