1-O-hexadecyl-2-Arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC is the product of acylation of lyso-PAF C-16 (Cay-60906) by a CoA-independent transacylase. It is the most common precursor for formation of PAF C-16 (Cay-60900) by the remodeling pathway.Formal Name:...

2-O-ethyl PAF C-16 is a synthetic PAF analog which contains an ethyl group, attached by an ether linkage, at the sn-2 position. It is a less potent agonist than methylcarbamyl PAF C-16 in the induction of platelet aggregation in both human and rabbit PRP. 2-O-ethyl PAF C-16 causes aggregation of neutrophils in the...

Hexadecyl acetyl glycerol (HAG) is an analog of DAG, which inhibits the activation of PKC by DAG. It also inhibits the growth of HL-60 cells and induces differentiation to cells resembling mononuclear phagocytes. Following treatment with 5 µg/ml HAG for six days, HL-60 cells demonstrated a 10-fold increase in...

2-thio PAF is an isosteric analog of PAF. It is also a synthetic analog of PAF which contains an acetyl group attached by a thioester bond at the sn-2 position. It functions as a PAF receptor agonist, and its potency is comparable to PAF C-18 in rabbit platelet aggregation, and to PAF C-16 in the activation of...
