Abstract
COVID-19 is a new disease caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. It was first described in 2019, developed into an epidemic in January 2020 and has spread the global to the present COVID-19 pandemic. Specialized pro‑resolving mediators (SPMs) may play a new role in the management of this lung disease because SPM actively stimulate the resolution of infectious inflammation and are organ protective in animal disease models. Many tissues have been suitable targets for treating inflammation with SPMs or their active precursors 18-HEPE, 17-HDHA and the 14-HDHA, in order to elicit dynamic resolution of inflammation. Here we discuss the possible mode of action of these substances in the management of SARS Covid 19.
