Product Description
EA4, a quinone derivative, is a novel and potent a rPLA2 inhibitor that inhibits rPLA2 with a Ki of 130 µM. rPLA2 is a calcium-dependent cytosolic phospholipase A2(cPLA2) initially isolated and characterized from bovine and human red blood cells (RBCs). It has a molecular mass of 42 kDa and biochemical properties similar to cPLA2 Type IV. EA4 inhibits the ionophore-induced arachidonic acid release from human and bovine red blood cells (RBCs), indicating that rPLA2 is responsible for the Ca2+-dependent release of arachidonic acid from mammalian RBCs. EA4 causes significant time- and concentration-dependent induction of cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) mRNA and protein in murine hepatoma Hepa-1c1c7 cells. EA4 also modulates CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 expression in other cell lines such as MCF-7, Hep-G2, and HL-60.
EA4 (CAS# 389614-94-2) is a quinone derivative that acts as a potent inhibitor of rPLA2, a 42-kDa calcium-dependent cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) initially isolated and characterized from bovine and human red blood cells. EA4 inhibits rPLA2 with a Ki value of 130 μM. It is used in research related to hemostasis, thrombosis, and erythropoiesis. The compound's molecular formula is C19H17ClN2O2.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of EA4 is rPLA2 (red blood cell phospholipase A2), a calcium-dependent cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). EA4 inhibits the ionophore-induced arachidonic acid release from human and bovine red blood cells, indicating that rPLA2 is responsible for the Ca2+-dependent release of arachidonic acid from mammalian RBCs. By inhibiting rPLA2, EA4 blocks the production of arachidonic acid and its downstream metabolites.
ln Vitro
rPLA2 and cPLA2 are inhibited by EA4 (9 μM, 24 μM)[1]. EA4 has a 130 μM Ki value that inhibits rPLA2 [1]. In a time-regulated manner, EA4 (50 μM) strongly suppresses the release of AA from light erythrocytes caused by A23187 [1].
EA4 inhibits rPLA2 with a Ki value of 130 μM. It inhibits the ionophore-induced arachidonic acid release from human and bovine red blood cells. This demonstrates that rPLA2 is responsible for the Ca2+-dependent release of arachidonic acid from mammalian RBCs. EA4 can be used for research on hemostasis, thrombosis, and erythropoiesis.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for EA4 are not detailed in the available sources. The compound's primary characterization comes from in vitro enzyme inhibition assays using purified rPLA2 and red blood cell-based assays. Specific in vivo efficacy studies have not been described in the available literature. The compound is used as a tool to study the role of rPLA2 in cellular processes.
Enzyme Assay
The rPLA2 inhibition assay measures the enzymatic activity of purified rPLA2 using a labeled substrate, such as 1-palmitoyl-2-[¹⁴C]arachidonyl-phosphatidylcholine. The enzyme is incubated with the substrate in the presence of Ca2+ and varying concentrations of EA4. The reaction is terminated, and the released [¹⁴C]-arachidonic acid is extracted and quantified by liquid scintillation counting. The Ki value is calculated from the inhibition curve using appropriate enzyme kinetics models.
Cell Assay
To evaluate the effect of EA4 on arachidonic acid release, human or bovine red blood cells are loaded with [³H]-arachidonic acid and stimulated with a calcium ionophore (e.g., A23187) to induce arachidonic acid release. EA4 is added at various concentrations before stimulation. After incubation, the amount of [³H]-arachidonic acid released into the supernatant is measured by liquid scintillation counting. The percentage inhibition of arachidonic acid release is calculated.
Animal Protocol
Specific in vivo animal experiment protocols for EA4 are not detailed in the available sources. The compound has not been described in the context of animal models of thrombosis or other diseases. Given its in vitro activity as a rPLA2 inhibitor, it may be evaluated in animal models of hemostasis or thrombosis, but such data are not currently available.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Specific pharmacokinetic data for EA4 are not provided in the available sources. The compound is a small molecule with a molecular weight of approximately 354.8 (based on its formula C19H17ClN2O2). Standard pharmacokinetic studies would typically involve administering the compound to rodents and measuring plasma concentrations over time using LC-MS/MS to determine key PK parameters, but such data are not currently available.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicity data for EA4 are not provided in the available sources. As a research compound, it is intended for laboratory use only and is not approved for human therapeutic applications. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.
