lipoxin B4, also known as 5-methyl-LXB4 or 5,14,15-thet, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as lipoxins. These are eicosanoids with a trihydroxyicosatetraenoic acid skeleton (a c20-fatty acid, with the chain bearing three hydroxyl groups and four double bonds). Lipoxins have four double bonds, which are all conjugated. In some cases a hydroxyl group is substituted by a C=O group. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on lipoxin B4.
