The essential fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) present in fish oils displays beneficial effects in a range of human disorders associated with inflammation including cardiovascular disease. Resolvin E1 (RvE1), a new bioactive oxygenated product of EPA, was identified in human plasma and prepared by total organic synthesis. Results of bioaction and physical matching studies indicate that the complete structure of RvE1 is 5S,12R,18R-trihydroxy-6Z,8E,10E,14Z,16E-EPA. At nanomolar levels, RvE1 dramatically reduced dermal inflammation, peritonitis, dendritic cell (DC) migration, and interleukin (IL) 12 production. We screened receptors and identified one, denoted earlier as ChemR23, that mediates RvE1 signal to attenuate nuclear factor–κB. Specific binding of RvE1 to this receptor was confirmed using synthetic [3H]-labeled RvE1. Treatment of DCs with small interference RNA specific for ChemR23 sharply reduced RvE1 regulation of IL-12. These results demonstrate novel counterregulatory responses in inflammation initiated via RvE1 receptor activation that provide the first evidence for EPA-derived potent endogenous agonists of antiinflammation.

The application of genomic techniques to the investigation of understudied species of actinobacteria provides an expedited route to the discovery of new bioactive natural products. We report the isolation of the antibiotic polyketide tatiomicin, through a genomics and bioactivity informed analysis of the metabolome of the extremophile <i>Amycolatopsis</i> sp. DEM30355. Structural elucidation including absolute stereochemical assignment was performed using complementary crystallographic, spectroscopic and computational methods. Tatiomicin shows antibiotic activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including Methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA).
