The total synthesis of Resolvin E2, an endogenous lipid mediator of the resolution of inflammation derived from eicosapentaenoic acid, has been achieved. The chiral hydroxy-groups at C5 and C18 were generated in a simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly manner via an asymmetric Noyori transfer hydrogenation in water using sodium formate as a reducing agent. Pd 0/CuI Sonogashira couplings of the three key fragments and Zn(Cu/Ag) reduction completed the synthesis of Resolvin E2.

The present invention is generally drawn to novel isolated therapeutic agents, termed resolvins, generated from the interaction between a dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), cyclooxygenase-II (COX-2) and an analgesic, such as aspirin (ASA). Surprisingly, careful isolation of compounds generated from the combination of components in an appropriate environment provide di- and tri-hydroxy EPA or DHA compounds having unique structural and physiological properties. The present invention therefore provides for many new useful therapeutic di- or tri-hydroxy derivatives of EPA or DHA (resolvins) that diminish, prevent, or eliminate inflammation or PMN migration, for example. The present invention also provides methods of use, methods of preparation, and packaged pharmaceuticals for use as medicaments for the compounds disclosed throughout the specification.
