Resolvin D5 (RvD5) is a metabolite of docosahexanoic acid with anti-inflammatory activity that has not yet been thoroughly investigated because of its low biological availability. A synthetic route to optically active RvD5 was developed by assembling the C1-C10 aldehyde, C11-C13 phosphonium salt, and C14-C22 aldehyde building blocks. The aldehyde fragments were prepared by Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation of corresponding racemic (E)-1-TMS-1-alken-3-ols followed by reaction of the TBS ethers of the resulting epoxy alcohols with Et2AlCN and DIBAL reduction of the (E)-1-cyano-1-alken-3-ol derivatives. The C14-C22 aldehyde was connected with the C11-C13 fragment, i.e., [TBSO(CH2)3PPh3]+ Br-, by Wittig reaction. The resulting C11-C22 intermediate was converted to the phosphonium salt, which was attached to the C1-C10 aldehyde by Wittig reaction to yield the structure of RvD5.

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), oxygenases and the analgesic aspirin (ASA). Surprisingly, careful isolation of compounds generated from the combination of components in an appropriate environment provide di- and tri-hydroxy containing derivatives of EPA and DHA containing compounds having unique structural and physiological properties. The present invention therefore provides for many new useful therapeutic di- and tri-hydroxy derivatives of EPA or DHA (resolvins of the E series and D series) that diminish, prevent, or eliminate gastrointestinal conditions, for example, such as colitis. 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.

The first total synthesis of 7(S),17(S)-Resolvin D5, a lipid mediator derived from docosahexaenoic acid, has been achieved. The chiral centers were generated via a Co-salen hydrolytic kinetic resolution of a terminal epoxide with >99% ee. Key steps include Takai olefination, Pd0/Cu I coupling and simultaneous deprotection and ester cleavage with lipase from Candida rugosa.
