Lipoxins (LXs or Lxs), an acronym for lipoxygenase interaction products, are bioactive autacoid metabolites of arachidonic acid made by various cell types. They are categorized as nonclassic eicosanoids and members of the specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) family of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) metabolites. Like other SPMs, LXs form during, and then act to resolve, inflammatory responses. Initially, two lipoxins were identified, lipoxin A₄ (LXA₄) and LXB₄, but more recent studies have identified epimers of these two LXs viz., the epi-lipoxins, 15-epi-LXA₄ and 15-epi-LXB₄, respectively.
