General description
Cell permeable. Inhibits arachidonic acid uptake and the activities of arachidonic acid specific and non-specific acyl-CoA synthetases. Inhibits phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and cytochrome P-450. Inhibits cyclooxygenase (ID50 = 8 µM), 5-lipoxygenase (ID50 = 10 µM), 12-lipoxygenase (ID50 = 300 nM), and 15-lipoxygenase (ID50 = 200 nM) in whole cells. Also acts as a potent modulator of Ca2+ entry into cells. Blocks monocyte binding in minimally-oxidized LDL in endothelial cells. Stimulates luteinizing hormone release from cultured pituitary cells.
