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.

Defects in neuromuscular innervation contribute significantly to the age-related decline in muscle mass and function (sarcopenia). Our previous studies demonstrated that denervation induces muscle mitochondrial hydroperoxide production (H2O2 and lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs)). Here we define the relative contribution of mitochondrial

TCDD (dioxin) induces a rapid inflammatory response from 3T3-L1 adipocytes as judged by prominent induction of the mRNA expression of prostaglandin-endperoxide synthase 2 (Cox-2) along with other inflammation markers within 1 h. This action of TCDD is clearly antagonized by

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.

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

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
