Biochem/physiol Actions

Eicosatetraynoic acid (ETYA) is a non-metabolizable analog of ω-6 arachidonic acid. ETYA is a strong activator of the human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα). It acts as an inhibitor of lipoxygenases (LOX) and cyclooxygenases (COX).
Eicosatetraynoic acid is a lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase inhibitor.

Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been reported to exhibit antiarrhythmic properties, which have been attributed to their availability to modulate Na(+), Ca(2+), and several K(+) channels. However, their effects on human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) channels are unknown. In this

Epithelial Na+ channels (ENaCs) are regulated by the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) product arachidonic acid. Pharmacological inhibition of PLA2 with aristolochic acid induced a significant increase in amiloride-sensitive currents in Xenopus oocytes expressing ENaC. Arachidonic acid or 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid (ETYA), a

5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid (ETYA), a widely used inhibitor of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase, inhibited the incorporation of 14C-arachidonic acid into cell lipids of the murine thymoma EL4 whereas oleic acid had no effect. Inhibition appeared to result from the ability of ETYA
