VARESPLADIB Structural

What is VARESPLADIB?

The Uses of VARESPLADIB

VARESPLADIB is used as a PLA2 inhibitor (Phospholipase A2 Enzyme inhibitor).

The Uses of VARESPLADIB

Varespladib has been used as a secretory phospholipase A (sPLA2) inhibitor:

  • to test its effect on the human astrocytes subjected to psychosine-induced toxicity
  • to test its neutralization functionality on the black snake species P. colletti?venom
  • in combination with snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMP)-inhibitor, marimastat to test its protective functionality on envenoming by vipers

What are the applications of Application

LY315920 is a potent and selective sPLA2 (secretory phospholipase A2) inhibitor

Definition

ChEBI: Varespladib is a member of the class of indoles that is 1H-indole substituted by benzyl, ethyl, oxamoyl, and carboxymethoxy groups at positions 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. It is an oral secretory phospholipase A2 inhibitor and exhibits anti-inflammatory effects. It has a role as an EC 3.1.1.4 (phospholipase A2) inhibitor, an anti-inflammatory drug and an antidote. It is a member of indoles, a member of benzenes, an aromatic ether, a dicarboxylic acid monoamide, a monocarboxylic acid and a primary carboxamide. It is a conjugate acid of a varespladib(1-).

Biological Activity

phospholipases (plas) produce rate-limiting precursors in the various types of biologically active lipid biosynthesis. increased levels of human nonpancreatic secretory phospholipase a2 (hnps-pla2) have been detected in several pathological conditions. ly315920 was selected for evaluation clinically as an hnps-pla2 inhibitor.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Varespladib is effective against viper and elapid venoms and is used in snakebite therapy. It is reported to interact with the hydrophobic channel of the PLA2-like toxin in in vitro structural studies. It blocks inflammatory cascades related to the sPLA2.

in vitro

the true potency of ly315920 was defined to be a mole fraction of 1.5 x 10-6 using a deoxycholate/phosphatidylcholine assay. ly315920 was found to be 40-fold less active against human, group ib, pancreatic spla2 and was inactive against cytosolic pla2 and the constitutive and inducible forms of cyclooxygenase. human spla2-induced thromboxane a2 release from isolated guinea pig lung bronchoalveolar lavage cells was inhibited by ly315920 with the ic50 of 0.79 μm [1].

in vivo

the i.v. administration of ly315920, 5 min before the bronchoalveolar lavage cells harvest, led to the inhibition of spla2-induced production of txa2 with an ed50 of 16.1 mg/kg. [2].
