Sumario:The resolution of inflammation is an integral part of the acute inflammatory response and eventually leads to the return to homeostasis. It is supported by specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) that act as immunoresolvents via specific G-protein-coupled receptors. In contrast to classical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that suppress the formation of pro-inflammatory lipid mediators such as prostaglandins, novel pharmacotherapeutic concepts propose to foster the biosynthesis of beneficial SPMs. Here, we demonstrate that the natural combination medicine Traumeel (Tr14) improves resolution of inflammation by promoting SPM formation. Tr14 enhanced the biosynthesis of 12-/15-lipoxygenase (LOX) products and of SPMs in zymosan-induced mouse peritonitis as well as in human monocyte-derived macrophages challenged with <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>. Importantly, in the peritonitis model, Tr14 supported the recruitment of innate leukocytes and the efferocytotic capacity of macrophages, and positively influenced the inflammation resolution index. Taken together, we suggest that based on these properties Tr14 may possess therapeutic potential as an enhancer for the resolution of inflammatory processes.
