11β-PGF2α-EA is the theoretical hepatic metabolite of PGD2-EA, produced during COX-2 metabolism of the endogenous cannabinoid AEA which is found in brain, liver, and other mammalian tissues. AEA can be used directly by COX-2 and specific PG synthase to produce ethanolamide congeners of…

Hydroxy linoleins are a mixture of 132 possible isomers of mono-, di-, and tri-hydroxy compounds produced by the autoxidation of trilinolein and subsequent reduction of the hydroperoxides. Autoxidation of linoleic acid containing triglycerides (i.e., trilinolein) in vivo could result in the…

A structural analog of capsaicin, which is the noxious active component of hot peppers of the Capsicum genus, and the amide of vanillylamine and oleic acid; acts as an agonist at TRPV1, inducing desensitization analgesia in rat and mouse models of pain; potentiates the agonist activity of…

Thioetheramide-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…

A 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 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…

A substrate for cPLA₂.

A more lipophilic, stabilized form of HPA.

A 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 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.

An 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.

3-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.

.DELTA.17-6-keto PGF1α is the non-enzymatic hydrolysis product of PGI3. PGI3 is a COX pathway metabolite of EPA in various tissues such as seminal vesicles, lung, PMNL, and ocular tissues.

A bioactive macrolide derived from sponges that binds monomeric actin, preventing actin polymerization both in vitro (Kd = 0.2 μM) and in cells (0.5 μM).

Spontaneously hypertensive rats fed a diet which includes γ-tocotrienol show significant reduction of systolic blood pressure and an increase of nitric oxide synthase activity in blood vessels. γ-Tocotrienol at 20 µM induces apoptosis of malignant sympathoadrenal (+SA) murine…
