5(S),6(R)-11-trans DiHETE is a C-11 double bond isomer of 5(S),6(R)-DiHETE that is formed by the enzymatic isomerization of 5(S),6(R)-DiHETE by a membrane bound factor. 5(S),6(R)-11-trans DiHETE has been found in rat kidney homogenates and is potentially formed by the epoxide hydrolase pathway in this tissue. The isomerase activity responsible for the conversion of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) to 6-trans LTB4 in rat kidney homogenates has also been implicated in its formation. 5(S),6(R)-11-trans DiHETE is not a substrate for soybean lipoxygenase. The biological activity of 5(S),6(R)-11-trans DiHETE has not been reported.
Echinocystic acid 28-O-β-D-glucoside is a metabolite resulting from the microbial oxidation and glucosidation of Echinocystic acid. It exhibits inhibitory activity towards the tissuefactor pathway, with an IC50 value measured at 10.61 nM.
KD-3010 is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta agonist potentially for the treatment of diabetes and obesity. KD-3010 dramatically ameliorates liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) injections. Deposition of extracellular matrix proteins was lower in the KD3010-treated group than in the vehicle- or GW501516-treated group. Interestingly, profibrogenic connective tissue growth factor was induced significantly by GW501516, but not by KD-3010, following CCl(4) treatment.
Melagatran monohydrate is a thrombin inhibitor. Melagatran prevents tissuefactor expression in human platelet-monocyte heterotypic complexes. Melagatran reduces advanced atherosclerotic lesion size and may promote plaque stability in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
