11(R)-HEPE, or 11-hydroxy-eicosapentaenoic acid, is a bioactive lipid derived from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 fatty acid. This compound is characterized by its hydroxyl group at the 11th carbon position, which influences its biological activity and interactions within the body. 11(R)-HEPE is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and potential roles in modulating immune responses. It is involved in various physiological processes, including the resolution of inflammation and the promotion of tissue repair. The compound is also studied for its potential therapeutic effects in conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Its presence in biological systems can be influenced by dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly from marine sources. As a metabolite of EPA, 11(R)-HEPE contributes to the complex interplay of lipid mediators that regulate inflammation and homeostasis in the body. Its unique structure and functional properties make it a subject of interest in both nutritional science and pharmacology.
