AACOCF3 is an analogue of arachidonic acid in which the carboxyl group is replaced by a trifluoromethylketone. This compound is found to be a slow-binding inhibitor of cytosolic human phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). Mechanistic studies suggest that AACOCF3 inhibits cPLA2 by direct binding to the enzyme. cPLA2 takes part in eicosanoid biosynthesis and in cellular generation of free arachidonic acid (AA sc-200770) therefore AACOCF3 suppresses AA release. Additionally, this agent inhibits production of two major metabolites of AA produced by platelets, 12-hydroxyeigosatetraenoic acid and thromboxane B2 (TXB2 sc-201452). In other studies where cultured neuroblastoma cells were used, AACOCF3 was used as a ligand for a specific brain receptor therefore causing inhibition of anandamide (sc-205592) hydrolysis. AACOCF3 also inhibits fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH 100% at 7.5 µM). AACOCF3 is an inhibitor of group VI iPLA2.
