Application

Arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (AACOCF3) has been used as a anandamide degradation inhibitor to study its effects in primary astrocyte cultures.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (AACOCF3) plays a role in the inhibition of 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) and thromboxane B2 produced by the platelets.
Inhibits anandamide hydrolysis in vitro; inhibits phospholipase A2.

Various molecular mechanisms have been suggested to be involved in dexamethasone induced thymocyte apoptosis. In this study we show that pharmacological inhibition of cytoplasmic PLA2 in mouse thymocytes for 18 h with arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (AACOCF3) (10 microM) and palmitoyl

TCDD (dioxin) induces a rapid inflammatory response from 3T3-L1 adipocytes as judged by prominent induction of the mRNA expression of prostaglandin-endperoxide synthase 2 (Cox-2) along with other inflammation markers within 1 h. This action of TCDD is clearly antagonized by

Defects in neuromuscular innervation contribute significantly to the age-related decline in muscle mass and function (sarcopenia). Our previous studies demonstrated that denervation induces muscle mitochondrial hydroperoxide production (H2O2 and lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs)). Here we define the relative contribution of mitochondrial

In spinal cord injury (SCI), neuronal and oligodendroglial loss occurs as a result of the initial trauma and the secondary damage that is triggered by excitotoxicity, free radicals, and inflammation. There is evidence that SCI ellicits increased cytosolic phospholipase A(2)

In vascular endothelial cells, low doses of ionizing radiation trigger the immediate activation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). This event initiates prosurvival signaling that could be responsible for radioresistance of tumor vasculature. Thus, the development of radiosensitizers targeting these survival
