General description

A cell-permeable inhibitor of phospholipase A2 that blocks epinephrine-stimulated thromboxane production in platelets. Inhibits ATP-stimulated phosphatidylcholine (PC) secretion in alveolar type II cells. Also blocks phorbol ester and A23187-induced PC secretion in type II cells. Reported to block glucose-induced insulin secretion by pancreatic β-cells. Exhibits moderate leukotriene antagonist activity.
Inhibits epinephrine-stimulated thromboxane production (86% at 3.5 μM) via inhibition of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in human platelets. Also blocks glucose-induced insulin secretion in pancreatic islets. Possesses moderate leukotriene antagonist activity.
