Varespladib | CAS#172732-68-2 | sPLA2 Inhibitor

MedKoo Cat#: 522365 | Name: Varespladib

Description:

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

Varespladib, aslo known as LY315920, is a secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) inhibitor (IC50 = 50 - 750 nM for a range of sPLA2 isoforms). Varespladib reduces atherosclerosis and aneurysm formation in ApoE-/- mice and in guinea pigs. Varespladib significantly reduces the post-ACS inflammatory response in those with and without diabetes. Varespladib may be potentially useful for treatment of coronary artery disease.

Biological target:

Varespladib (LY315920) is a secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) inhibitor with an IC50 of 9 nM.

In vitro activity:

Varespladib was tested in vitro against pancreatic sPLA2 mixed with different albumin concentration. Varespladib was able to inhibit sPLA2 in the types of neonatal lung injury investigated. sPLA2 activity was reduced in hyaline membrane disease (P < .0001), infections (P = .003), and meconium aspiration (P = .04) using 40 µM varespladib; 10 µM was able to lower enzyme activity (P = .001), with an IC(50) of 87 µM. An inverse relationship existed between protein level and activity reduction (r = 0.5; P = .029).

In vivo activity:

The effects of A-002 (Varespladib) on atherosclerosis was evaluated in 2 ApoE mouse models. In a high-fat diet model, A-002 (30 and 90 mg/kg twice a day for 16 weeks) reduced aortic atherosclerosis by 50% (P < 0.05). Plasma total cholesterol was decreased (P < 0.05) by 1 month and remained lowered throughout the study. In an accelerated atherosclerosis model, with angiotensin II-induced aortic lesions and aneurysms, A-002 (30 mg/kg twice a day) reduced aortic atherosclerosis by approximately 40% (P < 0.05) and attenuated aneurysm formation (P = 0.0096).

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
