General description

WY-14643 prevents lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in synovial fibroblasts. It protects cortical neurons from pro-inflammatory mediator-induced cell injuries. WY-14643 has inhibitory effects on pro-inflammatory responses in microglia. It improves oxido-nitrosative stress in disease models and reduces the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO) and lipid peroxidation end-products in the brain.

Application

WY-14643 has been used:
  • as a positive control for transfection and luciferase assay
  • to stimulate bone marrow–derived macrophages (BMDM) for autophagic flux analysis
  • to analyze the regulation of fatty acid metabolism-immune nexus (FAMIN) expression in cell culture

Biochem/physiol Actions

Perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs) are widespread environmental pollutants for which human exposure has been documented. PFCAs at high doses are known to regulate xenobiotic transporters partly through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) in rodent models.
