9(S),12(S),13(S)-TriHOME is a linoleic acid-derived oxylipin that has diverse biological activities.^1,2,3,4It has been found in various plants and is produced in human eosinophils in a 15-lipoxygenase-dependent, soluble epoxide hydrolase-independent manner.^1,59(S),12(S)13(S)-TriHOME inhibits antigen-induced β-hexosaminidase release from RBL-2H3 mast cells (IC₅₀= 28.7 ?g/ml).²It inhibits LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in BV-2 microglia (IC₅₀= 40.95 ?M).³In vivo, 9(S),12(S),13(S)-TriHOME (1 g/animal) enhances the antiviral IgA and IgG antibody responses induced by a nasal influenza hemagglutinin (HA) vaccine by 5.2- and 2-fold, respectively, in mice.⁴
