| Targets |
MAFP targets multiple enzymes: cPLA2 (IC50 = 5 µM), iPLA2 (IC50 = 0.5 µM), and FAAH (IC50 = 2.5 nM). It is a selective and irreversible inhibitor of PLA2 and FAAH. The compound also binds to the CB1 receptor in rat brain membrane preparations. As an irreversible inhibitor, MAFP covalently modifies the active site of its target enzymes, leading to sustained inhibition.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
MAFP inhibits iPLA2 in P388D1 cells via concentration suspension, with an IC50 of 5 μM, following 5 minutes of pre-buffering at 40°C. Serine residue 228 serves as the catalytic nucleophile in the phospholipid-buffered enzyme known as cPLA [1]. Additionally, MAFP ligand for the CB1 cannabinoid receptor and a stand-in for arachidonic acid amidase. MAFP works around 3000 and 30000 times better than chymotrypsin and trypsin, respectively, and shows selectivity for arachidonic acid amide amidase. The binding of [3H]CP-55940 to the CB1 cannabinoid receptor is replaced by MAFP, which has an IC50 of 20 nM as opposed to 40 nM for anandamide[2].
In vitro, MAFP potently inhibits iPLA2 with half-maximal inhibition observed at 0.5 µM after a 5-minute preincubation at 40°C. The inhibition is not reversed upon extensive dilution, confirming irreversible binding. Preincubation of iPLA2 with MAFP results in linear, time-dependent inactivation of enzyme activity. MAFP does not inhibit arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase, CoA-dependent acyltransferase, or CoA-independent transacylase activities, indicating selectivity for PLA2 enzymes. |
| ln Vivo |
No specific in vivo activity data is publicly available for MAFP. As a research compound, its in vivo efficacy has not been extensively characterized. The compound's irreversible inhibition of PLA2 and FAAH suggests potential applications in studying inflammatory and endocannabinoid pathways, but further studies are needed.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In cell-free enzymatic assays, MAFP's activity is evaluated by measuring its inhibition of PLA2 or FAAH enzyme activity. The enzyme is incubated with a fluorescent or radiolabeled substrate in the presence of varying concentrations of MAFP. The inhibition of substrate hydrolysis is measured, and the IC50 is calculated from the concentration-response curve. The irreversible nature of inhibition is confirmed by dilution experiments.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based experiments with MAFP typically involve culturing cells and treating them with the compound to inhibit PLA2 or FAAH activity. The inhibition of arachidonic acid release (for PLA2 inhibition) or anandamide hydrolysis (for FAAH inhibition) is measured. The compound's effects on downstream signaling pathways and inflammatory responses can also be assessed.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No specific in vivo animal protocols are publicly available for MAFP. If in vivo studies were to be conducted, typical protocols might involve animal models of inflammation or pain, where the compound would be administered, and inflammatory markers or pain responses would be measured.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No detailed pharmacokinetic data is publicly available for MAFP. As a reactive, irreversible inhibitor, its pharmacokinetic properties would be complex due to its covalent binding to target enzymes. The compound has a molecular formula of C21H36FO2P and a molecular weight of 370.5.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data is publicly available for MAFP. As an irreversible inhibitor of serine hydrolases, its use requires caution due to potential off-target effects. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic applications.

| Additional Infomation |
Methyl Arachidonyl fluorophosphonate is a phosphonate. Methoxyarachidonic fluorophosphonate (MAFP) is an irreversible, site-directed enzyme inhibitor that inhibits almost all serine hydrolases and serine proteases. Its inhibitory effect on phospholipase A2 and fatty acid amide hydrolases is particularly significant, with IC50 values in the low nanomolar range. See also: Methyl Arachidonyl fluorophosphonate (note moved to).
MAFP has a molecular formula of C21H36FO2P and a molecular weight of 370.5. It is also known as Methyl Arachidonyl Fluorophosphonate. The compound is a selective and irreversible inhibitor of cPLA2 (IC50 = 5 µM), iPLA2 (IC50 = 0.5 µM), and FAAH (IC50 = 2.5 nM). It also binds to the CB1 receptor. MAFP is used as a research tool for studying phospholipase and FAAH biology. |
