The acetylenic analog of 5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid is an inhibitor of 12-lipoxygenase and, in MDCK cells, triggers release of Ca2+ from endoplasmic reticulum and other intracellular stores.

1. In the absence of indomethacin, anandamide did not contract the guinea-pig bronchus at concentrations up to 100 microM. In the presence of indomethacin (10 microM), anandamide induced concentration-related contractions with a pEC(50) value of 5.18+/-0.11. It was significantly less

The immunomodulatory agent RU 41740 (Biostim), which is derived from Klebsiella pneumoniae, may augment mitogenic responses of purified human blood lymphocytes. In non-purified preparations, however, responses may be sharply reduced due to the fact that Biostim induces monocytes to secrete
American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine, 202(4), 558-567 (2020-04-24)
Rationale: The role of inspiratory effort still has to be determined as a potential predictor of noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) failure in acute hypoxic de novo respiratory failure.Objectives: To explore the hypothesis that inspiratory effort might be a major determinant
The migration of rat aortic smooth muscle cells was measured in modified Boyden chambers. Smooth muscle cells were motile in vitro and their migration was stimulated (time- and dose-dependently) by a platelet-derived factor. Treatment of platelets with indomethacin resulted in
The possible involvement of products of the lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid cascade in ovulation was tested by intrabursal injection of nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA); 5, 8, 11-eicosatriynoic acid (5, 8, 11-ETYA), 3 amino-1-(3 trifluromethyphenyl)-2-pyrazoline hydrochloride (BW755c) and (FPL 55712).
