Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Diflapolin is a potent dual soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH)/5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor. It inhibits formation of the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) products leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and 5-HpETE in isolated human monocytes and neutrophils (IC50s = 30 and 170 nM, respectively) and inhibits the epoxide hydrolase activity of sEH with an IC50 value of 20 nM in a cell-free assay.

Product Data
Biological target:
Diflapolin is a highly active dual 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP)/soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitor with marked anti-inflammatory efficacy and high target selectivity that inhibits 5-LOX product formation in intact human monocytes and neutrophils with IC50s of  30 and 170 nM, respectively.
In vitro activity:
To confirm the hypothesis that diflapolin acts as FLAP inhibitor, the suppression of 5-LOX product formation in stably transfected HEK293 cells that either express 5-LOX plus FLAP or 5-LOX alone was studied. Diflapolin strongly inhibited 5-LOX product formation in intact HEK293 cells expressing both 5-LOX and FLAP, whereas in HEK293 cells deficient in FLAP, 5-LOX product formation was hardly impaired by diflapolin (Fig. 1e). Together, these data show that diflapolin inhibits 5-LOX product formation only when FLAP is operative supporting FLAP as target of diflapolin.

In vivo activity:
The anti-inflammatory effectiveness of diflapolin was next investigated in the zymosan-induced peritonitis mouse model39 that is strongly related to the pathophysiological activities of LTs. Diflapolin pre-treatment (1, 3 and 10 mg/kg, i.p. 30 min before zymosan injection) induced a significant reduction of LTC4 and LTB4 peritoneal levels, starting from the dose of 1 mg/kg (Fig. 5a and b) and comparable to the effect of MK886 (1 mg/kg, i.p. 30 min before zymosan). Since LTB4 is a major chemoattractant for leukocytes, diflapolin and MK886 caused concomitant block of leukocyte recruitment, which was dose-dependent for diflapolin (Fig. 5c). Accordingly, at the dose of 10 mg/kg, diflapolin inhibited the activity of MPO, a typical marker protein for neutrophils to 52.8 ± 12.2% (mean ± SEM) vs. vehicle control and reduced vascular permeability to 55.7 ± 14.4% (mean ± SEM) vs. vehicle control (Table 1), compared to inhibitory effects of MK886 (1 and 3 mg/kg) to 58.5 ± 10.6% and 48.6 ± 3.2%, respectively.
