azelaoyl paf

Azelaoyl PAF是一种强效的PPARγ激动剂，能够竞争性地结合噻唑烷二酮类药物，与罗格列酮（rosiglitazone）的效力相当。​在动脉粥样硬化研究中，Azelaoyl PAF通过上调CD36的表达，促进巨噬细胞对氧化低密度脂蛋白（oxLDL）的摄取。在Friedreich's ataxia（FRDA）患者的成纤维细胞中，Azelaoyl PAF显著提高了铁蛋白的mRNA和蛋白质水平。

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) encompasses low molecular weight entities that facilitate monocyte differentiation and activate polymorphonuclear leukocytes. A substance, recently isolated and purified from oxLDL and identified as azelaoyl PC, exemplifies this. Similarly, Butanoyl PAF, a compound closely related to azelaoyl PC, maintains over 10% of the agonist potency of platelet-activating factor (PAF). Notably, Butanoyl PAF's concentration in oxLDL surpasses that of enzymatically generated PAF by more than 100-fold, making it a significant signalling molecule within oxLDL.
