(±)5(6)-DiHETE is primarily studied for its role in inflammatory and immune responses. It is involved in the modulation of leukocyte activity, influencing the migration and activation of these immune cells during inflammation. This compound is also explored for its potential effects on vascular function, as it may impact blood vessel dilation and permeability. Additionally, (±)5(6)-DiHETE is investigated in the context of lipid metabolism and its implications in diseases such as atherosclerosis. Research is ongoing to understand its therapeutic potential in managing inflammatory disorders and related conditions.
