Thioester analogs of glycerophospholipids, in combination with Ellman's reagent, are convenient colorimetric substrates for the measurement of phospholipase activity. HEPC is a truncated analog of phosphatidylcholine with the entire sn-1 substituent deleted, and with a hexadecylthioester in the sn-2 position. HEPC...

Leukotriene D4-d5 (LTD4-d5) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of LTD4 (Cay-20310) by GC- or LC-MS. LTD4 is an active metabolite of LTC4 (Cay-20210) and a constituent of slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A). It is formed via metabolism of LTC4 by gamma-glutamyl...

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, Cay-90110) is an omega-3 fatty acid abundantly available in marine organisms. (±)17(18)-DiHETE is one of the major metabolites produced when eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is incubated with various rat tissue homogenates or cynomolgus monkey seminal vesicles. The route of production of...

Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) catalyzes the hydrolysis of fatty acids at the sn-2 position of glycerophospholipids. PLA2 (Type V) is a secretory PLA2 (sPLA2) of approximately 14 kDa and is one of the isoforms in the growing list of the PLA2 enzyme family. This enzyme, rather than the sPLA2 (Type II), is responsible for...

Thioester analogs of glycerophospholipids, in combination with Ellman's reagent, are convenient colorimetric substrates for the measurement of phospholipase (PL) activity. Diheptanoyl thio-PC is a commonly-used colorimetric substrate for all PLA2s, with the exception of cPLA2 and platelet-activating factor...

Central cannabinoid (CB1) receptor antagonists and inverse agonists exhibit therapeutic potential for obesity and drug dependence, while being devoid of psychotropic effects. CAY10508 is a potent and selective central cannabinoid (CB1) receptor inverse agonist with a Ki value of 243 nM and an EC50 of 195 nM. A 10 µM...

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a biologically active phospholipid synthesized by a variety of stimulated cells that acts as a mediator of platelet aggregation, inflammation, and allergy. PAF is converted to the biologically inactive lyso-PAF by the enzyme PAF acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH). Recently, plasma PAF-AH...

VO-OHpic is a specific inhibitor of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN, IC50 = 35 nM in vitro). Through this action, it increases cellular phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) levels, phosphorylation of Akt, and glucose uptake in adipocytes. In mice, VO-OHpic (10 µg/kg, i.p.) decreases left ventricular...

Acenocoumarol is an anticoagulant and vitamin K antagonist. It inhibits the reduction of vitamin K1 epoxide to vitamin K1 by vitamin K1 epoxide reductase (VKOR) (IC50 = 1.5 and 5.8 nM for VKORC1 and VKORC1L1, respectively). Acenocoumarol also inhibits a variety of VKOR mutants in cell-based reporter assays (IC50s =...
