20-OH-LTB4, or 20-hydroxy leukotriene B4, is a metabolite of leukotriene B4 (LTB4), which itself is a potent lipid mediator derived from arachidonic acid through the 5-lipoxygenase pathway. In research, 20-OH-LTB4 is studied for its involvement in the inflammatory response and immune regulation. Unlike its precursor LTB4, which is a strong chemotactic agent and activator of leukocytes, 20-OH-LTB4 has reduced biological activity and serves as an example of how leukotriene metabolism can regulate the intensity and duration of inflammation. Researchers utilize 20-OH-LTB4 to understand the metabolic pathways that control the biosynthesis and inactivation of leukotrienes, as well as to delineate the specific roles of different leukotriene metabolites in inflammation and immune responses.
