YM 26734 is a potent inhibitor of secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) group IIA, identified through the optimization of analogs. It competitively inhibits sPLA2 enzymes across various species, demonstrating low nanomolar potency. Specifically, YM 26734 inhibits sPLA2-hGIIA, -mGIIA, -rGIIA, -hGV, -mGV, -hGX, and -mGX with IC50 values ranging from 30 nM to over 1600 nM, depending on the enzyme subtype. The compound exhibits minimal activity against cytosolic PLA2, COX, and lipoxygenase, thus showing specificity towards sPLA2s. The inhibitory mechanism of YM 26734 involves binding to the conserved active site of sPLA2s, which includes a Ca2+ binding loop and an Asp-His catalytic dyad, essential for the enzyme′s activity. This binding interaction is thought to mimic bidentate ligand coordination to metals, including calcium, thereby inhibiting the enzyme′s function. Simplified analogs based on the didodecanoylphloroglucinol portion of YM-26734, which contains the predicted active site calcium-binding group, have also shown potent inhibition at low nanomolar concentrations.
