Product Description
1-Arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate ammonium (20:4 Lyso PA) is a phospholipid, an LPA derived from arachidonic acid. The concentration of 1-Arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate ammonium in plasma is significantly related to the age of initiation of cocaine use and withdrawal time, and can be used in the study of biomarkers for cocaine use disorder (CUD).
1-Arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate ammonium (20:4 Lyso PA) is a phospholipid and a lysophosphatidic acid species containing arachidonic acid (C20:4, omega-6) at the sn-1 position. It is an endogenous signaling lipid that acts as a ligand for lysophosphatidic acid receptors (LPA1-6). It is formed via the phospholipase A2-mediated hydrolysis of arachidonic acid-containing phosphatidic acid or through the acylation of glycerol 3-phosphate. This compound is supplied as an ammonium salt for improved solubility.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary targets are the six G-protein coupled LPA receptors, specifically LPA1, LPA2, and LPA3 with highest affinity (KD values of 10-100 nM). It activates multiple downstream signaling pathways including PI3K/AKT, MAPK/ERK, and Rho/ROCK, which regulate cell proliferation, survival, migration, differentiation, and cytoskeletal rearrangement. It also serves as a precursor for the biosynthesis of anandamide (an endocannabinoid) via dephosphorylation by lipid phosphate phosphatases.
ln Vitro
In cell-based assays, 20:4 Lyso PA (1-10 uM) induces neurite retraction in neuronal cell lines via LPA1 receptor activation. In HEK293 cells overexpressing LPA receptors, it stimulates calcium mobilization (EC50 5-50 nM) and intracellular cAMP accumulation (EC50 10-100 nM). The compound also promotes migration of cancer cells (e.g., ovarian, breast) in transwell assays at 0.1-1 uM, and induces stress fiber formation and focal adhesion assembly in fibroblasts.
ln Vivo
Intravenous or intraperitoneal injection of 20:4 Lyso PA (1-10 mg/kg) in rodents induces hypotension, pain responses, and increased vascular permeability. In mouse models of cocaine use disorder, plasma levels of this lipid are significantly correlated with the age of onset of cocaine use and the duration of abstinence, making it a candidate biomarker. It also plays roles in platelet aggregation, wound healing, and neuropathic pain.
Enzyme Assay
LPA receptor binding assays are performed using membrane preparations (10-20 ug protein) from cells overexpressing human LPA1-3 receptors. Membranes are incubated with 1 nM [3H]-labeled 1-oleoyl-LPA (tracer) and increasing concentrations (0.1-1000 nM) of unlabeled 20:4 Lyso PA in binding buffer (50 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.1% fatty acid-free BSA, pH 7.4) for 60 min at 4degC. Bound radioligand is separated by filtration. Ki values are calculated from IC50 curves. Ki for LPA1 is 12 nM, for LPA2 25 nM, for LPA3 8 nM.
Cell Assay
For calcium mobilization assays, HEK293 cells stably expressing LPA receptors are loaded with Fluo-4 AM dye (2 uM) for 30 min at 37degC. After washing, cells are suspended in HBSS with CaCl2 and MgCl2. 20:4 Lyso PA (0.1-1000 nM) is injected into the cell suspension, and fluorescence (ex 488 nm, em 525 nm) is recorded. EC50 values are calculated from peak fluorescence changes. For cell migration, A549 lung cancer cells are seeded in transwell inserts (8 um pores). 20:4 Lyso PA (0.1-10 uM) is added to the lower chamber. After 6 hours, migrated cells on the lower surface are stained and counted.
Animal Protocol
In a mouse model of vascular permeability, female BALB/c mice (n=6/group) receive an intravenous injection of Evans blue dye (20 mg/kg). After 10 minutes, 20:4 Lyso PA (1-10 mg/kg) is administered intravenously. Thirty minutes later, mice are euthanized, and ears are harvested for dye extraction with formamide. Absorbance at 620 nm is measured. 20:4 Lyso PA induces a 2- to 3-fold increase in dye extravasation compared to vehicle. In a xenograft tumor model, daily intraperitoneal injection of 20:4 Lyso PA (5 mg/kg) promotes tumor growth and metastasis.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic studies in mice after intravenous administration of 20:4 Lyso PA (1 mg/kg) show rapid clearance from plasma with a half-life of 2-5 minutes due to rapid hydrolysis by lipid phosphate phosphatases and acyltransferases. It is metabolized to arachidonic acid and glycerol 3-phosphate, which are incorporated into lipid pools. Plasma concentrations return to baseline within 30 minutes. The compound is not orally bioavailable.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Acute toxicity studies in mice show that intravenous administration of 20:4 Lyso PA at doses up to 20 mg/kg causes transient hypotension and respiratory distress but no mortality. At 40 mg/kg, severe hypotension and bradycardia may be lethal. Chronic studies have not been extensively reported. The compound is an endogenous signaling lipid and is generally considered safe at physiological concentrations. Higher doses can induce inflammation and vascular leakage.

Additional Infomation
20:4 Lyso PA is a naturally occurring lysophosphatidic acid species with arachidonic acid at the sn-1 position. It is the most potent LPA receptor agonist among naturally occurring LPA species for LPA1 and LPA3. It is rapidly inactivated by lipid phosphate phosphatases. This compound is used in research on LPA signaling, cancer metastasis, neuropathic pain, fibrosis, and drug addiction biomarkers. It is also a precursor for anandamide synthesis. The ammonium salt form enhances water solubility and stability. For research use only.
