Description

General description

A reversible, potent, and selective sPLA₂-IIA/PLA2g2a (phospholipase A2 group IIA) inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 29 nM) that displays much reduced potency against sPLA₂-V/PLA2g5 (PLA₂ group V; IC₅₀ = 2 µM) and is reported not to affect the activity of cytosolic cPLA₂, Ca²⁺-independent iPLA₂, 30 human GPCRs, and 25 other enzymes. In addition to being useful in studying PLA2g2a-mediated cellular responses in cultures in vitro (100% inhibition of LPS-induced PGE₂ production in HMC-1 cells; 15 min 10 µM pretreatment), KH064 is orally available in rats and efficacious in various rat disease models in vivo (5 mg/kg p.o.), including adjuvant-induced arthritis, spontaneous hypertension, high fat diet-induced metabolic disorders. Comparing to the substrate-competitive inhibitor c(2NapA)LS(2NapA)R (Cat. No. 525145), KH064 also effectively chelates sPLA₂-IIA active site Ca²⁺ in addition to targeting the enzyme′s N-terminal lipid substrate binding site.
