Biochem/physiol Actions

DCP-LA is a selective PKC-epsilon (PKC-ε) activator. In the in situ PKC assay with a reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography, DCP-LA significantly activated PKC in PC-12 cells in a concentration (10 nM-100 μM)-dependent manner, with the maximal effect at 100 nM. DCP-LA has over a 7-fold greater potency for activation of PKC-ε over other PKC isozymes.

In the water-maze test, the linoleic acid derivative, 8-[2-(2-pentyl-cyclopropylmethyl)-cyclopropyl]-octanoic acid (DCP-LA) (1 mg/kg, intraperitoneally), significantly shortened the prolonged latency for accelerated-senescence-prone mice 8 (SAMP8), reaching a level similar to the latency for accelerated-senescence-resistant mice 1 (SAMR1) as control.

This study examined the effect of 8-[2-(2-pentyl-cyclopropylmethyl)-cyclopropyl]-octanoic acid (DCP-LA), a newly synthesized linoleic acid derivative with cyclopropane rings instead of cis-double bonds, on protein kinase C (PKC) activity. In the in situ PKC assay with reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, DCP-LA

The amyloid hypothesis posits that the production of β-amyloid (Aβ) aggregates leads to neurodegeneration and cognitive decline associated with AD. Aβ is produced by sequential cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β- and γ-secretase. While nascent APP is

Anion exchanger 3 (AE3) is known to serve crucial roles in maintaining intracellular chloride homeostasis by facilitating the reversible electroneutral exchange of Cl‑ for HCO3‑ across the plasma membrane. Our previous studies reported that sasanquasaponin (SQS) can inhibit hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)‑induced
