Bioactivity | Lipoxin B4 (LXB4) methyl ester is a lipid soluble prodrug form of the transcellular metabolite LXB4. LXB4 is a positional isomer of LXA4 produced by the metabolism of 15-HETE or 15-HpETE by human leukocytes. At a concentration of 100 nM, LXB4 inhibits polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) migration stimulated by leukotriene B4 (LTB4; Item No. 20110) and inhibits LTB4-induced adhesion of PMNs with an IC50 value of 0.3 nM. |
