sPLA2-X Inhibitor 31 is a selective inhibitor of secreted phospholipase A2 type X (sPLA2-X) (IC50s of 26 nM, 310 nM, and 2230 nM for sPLA2-X, sPLA2-IIa, and sPLA2-V, respectively).
CGP 43182 is an effective inhibitor of group IIA secretory phospholipase A2 (Group IIAsPLA2) activity in vitro, which can be used to prevent the synergistic effect of pro-inflammatory genes stimulated by cytokines mediated by NFkappaB.
Phosphatidylethanolamines are important components of cell membranes and biochemical pathways of fatty acid synthesis. 1-Palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl PE (PLPE) is one of the many phosphatidylethanolamines that may be present in cellular membranes. It has been used in studies involving the biosynthesis of anandamide via the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and lysoPLD pathways. PLPE can also be used as a specific substrate to assess the activity of sPLA2-IIA in the presence of other phospholipids.
Varespladib sodium (LY315920 sodium) is a highly potent and selective inhibitor of group IIA secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2), with an IC50 of 9 nM. It demonstrates significant inhibitory activity against sPLA2 in serum samples from multiple species, including rat, rabbit, guinea pig, and human, with IC50 values of 8.1 nM, 5.0 nM, 3.2 nM, and 6.2 nM, respectively.
