Thioetheramide-PC
Cayman ChemicalThioetheramide-PC is a structurally modified phospholipid that functions as a competitive, reversible inhibitor of sPLA2. The IC50 value for thioetheramide-PC is 2 µM at a substrate concentration of 0.5 mM. In addition to binding to the catalytic site of sPLA2, thioetheramide-PC…
-
Docosapentaenoic Acid methyl ester
Cayman ChemicalA more lipid-soluble form of DPA amenable to analysis using gas chromatography; may serve as a prodrug, since it should facilitate uptake of DPA and then be hydrolyzed by esterases to generate the free acid after uptake into cells.
-
(±)12-HETE
Cayman Chemical(±)12-HETE is one of the six monohydroxy fatty acids produced by the non-enzymatic oxidation of arachidonic acid. The biological activity of (±)12-HETE is similar to that of its constituent enantiomers (Item Nos. 34560 and 34570). It aggregates neutrophils with an EC50…

(S)-(-)-Linoleyl-1'-Hydroxy-2'-Propylamide
Cayman ChemicalA homolog of LOEA, characterized by the addition of an (S)-α-methyl group at the methylene carbon adjacent to the amide nitrogen.
-
Palmitic Acid ethyl ester
Cayman ChemicalPalmitic acid ethyl ester is a neutral, lipid-soluble form of the free acid. It is one of the fatty acid ethyl esters that increase cytosolic Ca2+ concentration leading to pancreatic acinar cell injury due to excessive consumption of ethanol.
-
15(R)-Lipoxin A4
Cayman ChemicalAn aspirin-triggered lipoxin that inhibits LTB4-induced chemotaxis, adherence, and transmigration of the neutrophils with twice the potency of LXA4 demonstrating activity in the nM range.
-
N-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-Arachidonoyl amide
Cayman Chemical3-HPA is an analog of AM404, which is a selective inhibitor of carrier-mediated transport of AEA. 3-HPA is metabolized by both COX-1 and COX-2 and also selectively and irreversibly inhibits COX-2 with an IC50 value of 2 µM.
