Description

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.

Arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis via blocking peroxynitrite formation in mouse spinal cord white matter.

Adam C Vana et al.

Experimental neurology, 231(1), 45-55 (2011-06-21)

Inhibition of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) has recently been found to attenuate the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a commonly used animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the protective mechanisms that underlie PLA(2) inhibition are still not well understood.

Altered spinal arachidonic acid turnover after peripheral nerve injury regulates regional glutamate concentration and neuropathic pain behaviors in rats.

Backil Sung et al.

Pain, 131(1-2), 121-131 (2007-02-03)

Spinal glutamate transporters (GT) have been implicated in the mechanisms of neuropathic pain; however, how spinal GT uptake activity is regulated remains unclear. Here we show that alteration of spinal arachidonic acid (AA) turnover after peripheral nerve injury regulated regional

Inhibitors of arachidonoyl ethanolamide hydrolysis.

B Koutek et al.

The Journal of biological chemistry, 269(37), 22937-22940 (1994-09-16)

Arachidonoyl ethanolamide (anandamide) is a naturally occurring brain constituent that binds to a specific brain cannabinoid receptor (CBR1). An amidase activity (anandamide amidase) in membrane fractions of brain and in cultured neuroblastoma cells rapidly degrades anandamide to arachidonic acid (Deutsch
