General description

C18-lysoPAF, also known as 1-O-octadecyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, is a synthetic lyso-platelet activating factor (PAF). It is a precursor and metabolite of 1-O-octadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C18:0 PAF). Lyso-platelet activating factor (PAF) is synthesized from PAF acetylhydrolases by the degradation of PAF. Additionally, it is also synthesized in the remodeling pathway from 1-O-alkyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (1-alkyl-phosphatidylcholine) by the enzyme phospholipase.

Application

C18-lysoPAF (1-O-octadecyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) has been used to study its effect on human eosinophil degranulation.

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a potent proinflammatory lipid mediator eliciting a variety of cellular functions. Lipid mediators, including PAF are produced from membrane phospholipids by enzymatic cascades. Although a G protein-coupled PAF receptor and degradation enzymes have been cloned and

Platelet-activating factor (PAF [1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine]) is a phospholipid mediator released from activated macrophages, mast cells, and basophils that promotes pathophysiologic inflammation. Eosinophil responses to PAF are complex and incompletely elucidated. We show in this article that PAF and its 2-deacetylated metabolite
