12(R)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid is a neutrophil chemoattractant in the cavine, lapine, murine and canine dermis.

Psoriasis is a disease state characterized by epidermal proliferation, neutrophil infiltration, along with release of the proinflammatory mediators leukotriene-B4(LTB4) and 12(R)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid [12(R)-HETE]. LTB4 and 12(R)-HETE are chemoattractant to the neutrophil, the latter approximately 1000x less potent. LTB4 and 12(R)-HETE are present in psoriatic scale, the latter in quantities so much greater than LTB4 that it is proposed as a primary mediator of neutrophil infiltration in psoriasis. 12(R)-HETE, synthesized in optically pure form by a new, shorter route, was injected into the dermis of the cavine, lapine, canine, mouse and rat. At doses up to 50 mu gm per intradermal site, 12(R)-HETE was chemoattractant to the neutrophil (as assessed by dermal myeloperoxidase levels) with response in the cavine greater than canine greater than lapine greater than mouse greater than rat.[1]
