Caffeic acid phenethyl ester has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. We examined the effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester on lipopolysaccharide-induced production of nitric oxide and prostaglandin E(2), and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 in RAW 264.7 macrophages. We also investigated the effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester on lipopolysaccharide-induced septic shock in mice. Our results indicate that caffeic acid phenethyl ester inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide and prostaglandin E(2) production in a concentration-dependent manner and inhibits inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 in RAW 264.7 cells, without significant cytotoxicity. To further examine the mechanism responsible for the inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 expression by caffeic acid phenethyl ester, we examined the effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester on lipopolysaccharide-induced nuclear factor-kappaB activation and the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester treatment significantly reduced nuclear factor-kappaB translocation and DNA-binding in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. This effect was mediated through the inhibition of the degradation of inhibitor kappaB and by inhibition of both p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase phosphorylation, at least in part by inhibiting the generation of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, caffeic acid phenethyl ester rescued C57BL/6 mice from lethal lipopolysaccharide-induced septic shock, while decreasing serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1beta. Collectively, these results suggest that caffeic acid phenethyl ester suppresses the induction of cytokines by lipopolysaccharide, as well as inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 expression, by blocking nuclear factor-kappaB and p38/ERK activation. These findings provide mechanistic insights into the anti-inflammatory and chemopreventive actions of caffeic acid phenethyl ester in macrophages. 相似文献

10t,12c-conjugated linoleic acid inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced cyclooxygenase expression in vitro and in vivo 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Previous data demonstrated that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) reduced eicosanoid release from select organs. We hypothesized that one active CLA isomer was responsible for the reduced prostaglandin release and that the mechanism was through the inhibition of inducible cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Here, we examined the effects of 10t,12c-CLA and 9c,11t-CLA on COX-2 protein/mRNA expression, prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production, and the mechanism by which CLA affects COX-2 expression and prostaglandin release. The COX-2 protein expression level was inhibited 80% by 10t, 12c-CLA and 26% by 9c,11t-CLA at 100 microM in vitro. PGE(2) production was decreased from 5.39 to 1.12 ng/2 x 10(6) cells by 10t,12c-CLA and from 5.7 to 4.5 ng/2 x 10(6) cells by 9c,11t-CLA at 100 microM. Mice fed 10t,12c-CLA but not 9c,11t-CLA were found to have a 34% decrease in COX-2 protein and a 43% reduction of PGE(2) release in the lung. 10t,12c-CLA reduced COX-2 mRNA expression level by 30% at 100 microM in vitro and by 30% in mouse lung in vivo. Reduced COX-2 mRNA was attributable to an inhibition of the nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) pathway by 10t,12c-CLA. These data suggested that the inhibition of NF-kappaB was one of the mechanisms for the reduced COX-2 expression and PGE(2) release by 10t,12c-CLA. 相似文献

A 24-h exposure to copper (400 microM, 600 microM) or cadmium (5 microM, 10 microM) significantly reduces the viability of COS-7 cells. A 2-h preincubation with vitamin E does not protect COS-7 cells from copper-induced toxicity, but does protect against cadmium-induced toxicity. Preincubation with aspirin protects cells from both copper- and cadmium-induced toxicity. A combination of aspirin and vitamin E (10 microM and 25 microM, respectively) increases cell viability in copper-exposed cells in a clearly additive manner, while in cadmium-exposed cells the effects are slightly additive. These results indicate that aspirin and vitamin E can protect cells from metal-induced toxicity. Differences in the protective effects of aspirin and vitamin E on copper versus cadmium-induced toxicity may be due to alternative mechanisms of metal toxicity or antioxidant activity. 相似文献

Arachidonic acid is preferentially metabolized by cyclooxygenase-2 to prostacyclin and prostaglandin E2 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The two cyclooxygenase isoforms, cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2, both metabolize arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2, which is subsequently processed by downstream enzymes to the various prostanoids. In the present study, we asked if the two isoforms differ in the profile of prostanoids that ultimately arise from their action on arachidonic acid. Resident peritoneal macrophages contained only cyclooxygenase-1 and synthesized (from either endogenous or exogenous arachidonic acid) a balance of four major prostanoids: prostacyclin, thromboxane A2, prostaglandin D2, and 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid. Prostaglandin E2 was a minor fifth product, although these cells efficiently converted exogenous prostaglandin H2 to prostaglandin E2. By contrast, induction of cyclooxygenase-2 with lipopol- ysaccharide resulted in the preferential production of prostacyclin and prostaglandin E2. This shift in product profile was accentuated if cyclooxygenase-1 was permanently inactivated with aspirin before cyclooxygenase-2 induction. The conversion of exogenous prostaglandin H2 to prostaglandin E2 was only modestly increased by lipopolysaccharide treatment. Thus, cyclooxygenase-2 induction leads to a shift in arachidonic acid metabolism from the production of several prostanoids with diverse effects as mediated by cyclooxygenase-1 to the preferential synthesis of two prostanoids, prostacyclin and prostaglandin E2, which evoke common effects at the cellular level. 相似文献

Inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 expression by flavonoids in macrophage J774A.1 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
The present study focuses on the effect of various naturally occurring flavonoids (apigenin, galangin, morin, naringenin, quercetin, and silymarin) on nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the macrophage cell line J774A.1. Moreover, we evaluated flavonoid modulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme expression by western blot analysis. Apigenin and quercetin (0.5-50 microM) were the most potent inhibitors of NO production and this effect was concentration-dependent and significant at 5 and 50 microM. These data were consistent with the modulation of iNOS enzyme expression. A similar pattern was observed considering the inhibitory effect of flavonoids on LPS-induced PGE2 release and COX-2 expression. Quercetin, galangin, apigenin, and naringenin markedly decreased PGE2 release and COX-2 expression in a concentration-dependent manner. This study suggests that inhibition of iNOS and COX-2 expression by flavonoids may be one of the mechanisms responsible for their anti-inflammatory effects. 相似文献

Recently, a microsomal protein with 38% sequence identity to microsomal glutathione S-transferase 1 was shown to constitute an inducible, glutathione-dependent prostaglandin E synthase (PGES). To investigate the relationship between cyclooxygenase and PGES, a time-course study on protein expression was performed in A549 cells after treatment with interleukin-1beta. The result demonstrated a tandem expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and PGES. The observed induction of PGES protein correlated with microsomal PGES activity. No comparable PGES activity was observed in the absence of glutathione or in the cytosolic fraction. In addition, tumour necrosis factor-alpha was found to induce PGES in these cells. Dexamethasone was found to completely suppress the effect of both cytokines on PGES induction. We also describe a quantitative method, based on RP-HPLC with UV detection for the measurements of PGES activity. This method was used to screen potential PGES inhibitors. Several nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, stable prostaglandin H2 analogues and cysteinyl leukotrienes were screened for inhibition of PGES activity. NS-398, sulindac sulfide and leukotriene C4 were all found to inhibit PGES activity with IC50 values of 20 microM, 80 microM and 5 microM, respectively. In conclusion, it appears that PGES and cyclooxygenase-2 are functionally coupled in A549 cells and that a required coordinate expression of these enzymes allows for efficient biosynthesis of prostaglandin E2. 相似文献

Combinatorial chemopreventive strategies, in contrast to those with individual agents, show potential in terms of potentially lower toxicity and higher efficacy. In this study, we combined several agents and examined their suppressive effects on the combined lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- and interferon(IFN)-gamma-induced formation of proinflammatory mediators, including prostaglandin (PG) E2 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, in RAW264.7 murine macrophages. The combinatorial effects of indomethacin/genistein (GEN) and aspirin/GEN were found to be synergistic for PGE2 suppression, while the nimesulide/GEN combination was antagonistic. Further, while (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) alone increased LPS/IFM-gamma-induced production of PGE2 and TNF-alpha as well as cyclooxygenase-2 expression, the EGCG/GEN combination markedly suppressed these parameters. Our results suggest that certain chemopreventive agents act complexly and that, when used in combination, they affect the intracellular signaling pathways of the paired agents to exert additive, synergistic, or antagonistic effects. 相似文献

Vitamin K2 and geranylgeraniol, its side chain component, inhibited osteoclast formation in a different manner 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Hiruma Y Nakahama K Fujita H Morita I 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》2004,314(1):24-30
We comparatively examined the mechanism by which vitamin K(2) (Menatetrenone, MK4) and its side chain component, geranylgeraniol (GGO), inhibited osteoclast formation in the co-culture system of stromal cells with spleen cells. Both MK4 and GGO inhibited osteoclast formation induced by 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)). MK4, but not GGO, inhibited cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production in the co-culture system. To elucidate the precise mechanism of the inhibitory effect of GGO on osteoclast formation, the co-cultured cells were stimulated with PGE(2). GGO, but not MK4, inhibited osteoclast formation via suppression of the receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) expression. Moreover, GGO abolished the disruption of osteoclastic actin rings induced by nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate (N-BP), whereas MK4 did not affect it at all. These data suggest that MK4 inhibited osteoclast formation independently of GGO, and that MK4, but not GGO, has no competitive action on the anti-osteoporotic effect of N-BP. 相似文献

The present study was conducted to investigate effects of antioxidants during maturation culture of recipient oocytes and/or culture of gene-transfected donor cells on the meiotic competence of recipient oocytes, and the developmental competence and quality of the reconstructed embryos after nuclear transfer (NT) in cattle. Gene-transfected donor cells had negative effects on the proportions of blastocyst formation, total cell numbers, and DNA fragmentation indices of reconstructed embryos. Supplementation of either vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol: 100 microM) or vitamin C (ascorbic acid: 100 microM) during maturation culture significantly enhanced the cytoplasmic maturation of oocytes and subsequent development of embryos reconstructed with the oocytes and gene-transfected donor cells, but did not have synergistic effects. The supplementation of vitamin E during maturation culture of recipient oocytes increased the proportions of fusion and blastocyst formation of gene-transfected NT embryos, in which the proportions were similar to those of nontransfected NT embryos. When the gene-transfected donor cells that had been cultured with 0, 50, or 100 microM of vitamin E were transferred into recipient oocytes matured with vitamin E (100 microM), 50 microM of vitamin E increased the proportion of blastocyst formation and reduced the index of DNA fragmentation of blastocysts. In conclusion, gene-transfected donor cells have negatively influenced the NT outcome. Supplementation of vitamin E during both recipient oocyte maturation and donor cell culture enhanced the blastocyst formation and efficiently blocked DNA damage in transgenic NT embryos. 相似文献

Thiazolidinedione, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) agonist, has been used as an anti-diabetic drug and as an useful tool to elucidate multiple PPARgamma functions by in vitro and in vivo studies. We investigated the effects of thiazolidinediones on prostanoid production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cells. The high concentrations (>10 microM) of rosiglitazone and pioglitazone significantly increased lipopolysaccharide-stimulated prostanoid production such as thromboxane A2 and prostaglandin E2. However, PPARgamma antagonist could not inhibit them. In PPARgamma-deficient cells, thiazolidinediones increased prostaglandin E2 production. Thiazolidinediones increased arachidonic acid (AA) release from the cell membrane by not stimulating AA releasing process involving several phospholipase A2s but inhibiting AA reuptaking process. The expression of cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 were not affected by thiazolidinediones. In this study, we demonstrated that high concentrations of TZDs increased AA release by the inhibition of AA reuptaking process, leading to subsequent increase in the prostanoid production in a PPARgamma-independent manner. This mechanism provides useful information for the elucidation of multiple PPARgamma functions and diabetic drug therapy. 相似文献

The anti-inflammatory effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is associated with inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX), the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins. Since oxygen free radicals can act as second cellular messengers, especially to modulate the metabolism of arachidonic acid and the prostaglandin tract, it seems plausible that antioxidants might affect the production of prostaglandin by activated cells. This research is focused on the effect of the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on the inhibition of prostaglandin E(2) formation in activated monocytes by specific and non-specific COX inhibitors. We found that lipopolysaccharide-induced prostaglandin E(2) formation was significantly reduced by rofecoxib and by diclofenac, two NSAIDs. Addition of NAC to each of these drugs enhanced the effect of the NSAIDs. These results suggest that one might expect either a potentiation of the anti-inflammatory effect of COX inhibitors by their simultaneous administration with NAC, or obtaining the same anti-inflammatory at lower drug levels. 相似文献

1. Human platelet nucleotides were labelled by incubating platelet-rich plasma with [U-(14)C]adenine. With such platelets, the effects of prostaglandin E1, theophylline and aspirin were determined on collagen-induced platelet aggregation and release of platelet ATP and ADP. Intracellular changes of platelet radioactive nucleotides, particularly 3':5'-cyclic AMP, were also determined both with and without collagen treatment. 2. Prostaglandin E1, theophylline and aspirin inhibited collagen-induced aggregation of platelets in a dose-dependent manner. Collagen-induced release of ATP and ADP and breakdown of radioactive ATP were also inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. 3. Prostaglandin E1 stimulated the formation of platelet radioactive 3':5'-cyclic AMP in a dose-dependent manner. With a given dose of prostaglandin E1, maximum formation of radioactive 3':5'-cyclic AMP occurred by 10-30s and thereafter the concentrations declined. The degree of inhibition of aggregation produced by prostaglandin E1, however, increased with its time of incubation in platelet-rich plasma before addition of collagen, so that there was an inverse relationship between the radioactive 3':5'-cyclic AMP concentration measured at the time of collagen addition and the subsequent degree of inhibition of aggregation obtained. 4. Neither theophylline nor aspirin at a concentration in platelet-rich plasma of 1.7mm altered platelet radioactive 3':5'-cyclic AMP contents. In the presence of prostaglandin E1, theophylline increased the concentration of radioactive 3':5'-cyclic AMP over that noted with prostaglandin E1 alone, but aspirin did not. 5. Mixtures of prostaglandin E1 and theophylline had a synergistic effect on inhibition of platelet aggregation. The same was true to a lesser extent with mixtures of prostaglandin E1 and aspirin. Such mixtures also inhibited collagen-induced release of platelet ATP and ADP and breakdown of platelet radioactive ATP. 6. Certain concentrations of either theophylline or aspirin and mixtures of small concentrations of prostaglandin E1 with either theophylline or aspirin caused little or no increase of radioactive 3':5'-cyclic AMP at the time of collagen addition, but inhibited aggregation to a marked degree, whereas higher concentrations of prostaglandin E1 alone caused a much greater increase of radioactive 3':5'-cyclic AMP at the time of collagen addition but inhibited aggregation to a lesser extent. With these compounds there does not appear to be a correlation between these parameters. 相似文献

The activities of rat brain prostaglandin D synthetase and swine brain prostaglandin D2 dehydrogenase were inhibited by some saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Myristic acid was most potent among saturated straight-chain fatty acids so far tested. The IC50 values of this acid were 80 microM for prostaglandin D synthetase and 7 microM for prostaglandin D2 dehydrogenase, respectively. Little inhibition was found with methyl myristate and myristyl alcohol. The IC50 values of these derivatives were more than 200 microM for both enzymes, suggesting that the free carboxyl group was essential for the inhibition. The effects of cis double bond structure of fatty acids on the inhibition potency were examined by the use of the carbon 18 and 20 fatty acids. The inhibition potencies for both enzymes increased with the number of cis double bonds; the IC50 values of stearic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acid were, respectively, more than 200, 60, 30 and 30 microM for prostaglandin D synthetase, and 20, 10, 8.5 and 7 microM for prostaglandin D2 dehydrogenase. Arachidonic acid also inhibited the activities of both enzymes with respective IC50 values of 40 microM for prostaglandin D synthetase and 3.9 microM for prostaglandin D2 dehydrogenase, while arachidic acid showed little inhibition. The kinetic studies with myristic acid and arachidonic acid demonstrated that the inhibition by these fatty acids was competitive and reversible for both enzymes. Myristic acid and other fatty acids also inhibited the activities of several enzymes in prostaglandin metabolism, although to a lesser extent. The IC50 values of myristic acid for prostaglandin E isomerase, thromboxane synthetase and NAD-linked prostaglandin dehydrogenase (type I) were 200, 700 and 100 microM, respectively. However, this fatty acid showed little inhibition on fatty acid cyclooxygenase (20% at 800 microM), glutathione-requiring prostaglandin D synthetase from rat spleen (20% at 800 microM), and NADP-linked prostaglandin dehydrogenase (type II) (no inhibition at 200 microM). 相似文献

This study was designed to investigate the effect of IL-1alpha-induced up-regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) on prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) secretion and the subsequent phenotypic effects of PGE(2) on epithelial cells. The effect of IL-1alpha on COX-2 expression was investigated in the T24 bladder epithelial cell line following treatment with 0, 0.05, 0.5, 1 or 10 ng/ml IL-1alpha for 1, 2, 4 or 6 h. Quantitative PCR confirmed up-regulation of expression of COX-2 with maximal expression observed following treatment with 0.5 ng/ml IL-1alpha for 1 h. Co-treatment of the cells with 0.5 ng/ml IL-1alpha in the presence or absence of 100 ng/ml IL-1 receptor antagonist (RA) abolished the up-regulation in COX-2 expression confirming that the effect of IL-1alpha is mediated via its membrane-bound receptors. Treatment with 0.5 ng/ml IL-1alpha resulted in a time-dependent increase in PGE(2) secretion with maximal secretion detected at 24 and 48 h after stimulation with IL-1alpha. Co-treatment of the cells with IL-1alpha and IL-1RA or the COX-2 enzyme inhibitor NS398 abolished the IL-1alpha mediated secretion of PGE(2). Treatment of T24 cells with 100 nM PGE(2) resulted in a significant elevation in cAMP generation confirming the expression of functional PGE(2) receptors. Finally, the effect of exogenous treatment with PGE(2) on apoptosis of T24 cells was assessed using cell death detection ELISA. T24 cells were treated with camptothecin to induce apoptosis in the presence or absence of 50 or 100 nM PGE(2) or 10 microM forskolin. Treatment of T24 cells with increasing doses of camptothecin alone resulted in a significant increase in the induction of apoptosis (P<0.01). However, co-treatment of the cells with 50 or 100 nM PGE(2) or 10 microM forskolin resulted in the inhibition of induction of the apoptotic pathway by camptothecin. These data demonstrate that PGE(2) inhibits apoptosis of epithelial cells possibly via cAMP-dependent pathway. 相似文献

The present studies evaluated the direct effects of the presence of human cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) on gene expression of specific promoter regions of the P450 Cyp19 enzyme aromatase enzyme and its product, estradiol, in Cox-2 null estrogen-dependent MCF-7 breast tumor cells and in a stable clone of MCF-7 cells containing transfected Cox-2 cDNA, designated as MCF-7/Cox-2 Clone 10. Clone 10 human breast tumor cells have significantly increased gene expression of total mRNA of the P450 Cyp19 enzyme aromatase, with high levels of gene expression of specific aromatase promoter (p) regions pII, pI.3, and p1.7, with no significant change in mRNA levels of p1.4. Clone 10 human breast tumor cells produced significantly increased amounts of both prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) derived from Cox-2 enzyme activity and estradiol derived from aromatase enzyme activity (p<0.01), compared to MCF-7/vector control cells. The greatest inhibition of PGE2 or estradiol production was observed by the combination of the selective Cox-2 inhibitor celecoxib (25 microM) and the aromatase inhibitor, formestane (10nM) (p<0.01). The greatest anti-proliferative effect in Cox-2 null MCF-7/vector control cells was observed with the combination of 25 microM celecoxib and 10nM formestane but not with 10 microM celecoxib, suggesting that there are Cox-2-independent mechanisms involved in the anti-proliferative effect of this agent at doses greater than 10 microM. Celecoxib (25 microM) also significantly inhibited proliferation of MCF-7/Cox-2 Clone 10 human breast tumor cells, with no further anti-proliferative activity with the addition of 10 nM formestane observed at either 24 or 48 h of treatment. These studies demonstrate that Cox-2 directly regulates gene expression of specific aromatase promoter regions and regulates aromatase enzyme activity. Agents that inhibit Cox-2 or block the biological effects of PGE2 may be useful in significantly limiting aromatase activity and proliferation of human breast tumor cells regardless of the presence of Cox-2. In addition, the unique human breast tumor cell model used in these studies may be a useful tool in identifying the spectrum of activities of agents that block the biological effects of PGE2 and estradiol. 相似文献

Rat intestinal epithelial cells that express the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene permanently (RIES cells) were used as a model of in vivo oxidative stress. A targeted lipidomics approach showed that 15(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15(S)-HETE) was the major hydroxylated non-esterified lipid formed in unstimulated intact cells. The corresponding hydroperoxide, 15(S)-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15(S)-HPETE) undergoes homolytic decomposition to the DNA-reactive bifunctional electrophile 4-oxo-2(E)-nonenal, a precursor of heptanone-etheno-2'-deoxyguanosine. This etheno adduct was identified in the DNA of RIES cells. A dose-dependent increase in adduct levels was observed in the presence of vitamin C. This suggested that vitamin C increased lipid hydroperoxide-mediated 4-oxo-2(E)-nonenal formation in the cells. The selective COX-2 inhibitor NS-398 was protective against cellular DNA damage but was less effective if vitamin C was present. Prostaglandin E(2) and 15(S)-HETE biosynthesis were completely inhibited by 110 mum NS-398 in the intact RIES cells. No inhibition of COX-1 was detected in the wild-type RIE cells at this concentration of NS-398. Arachidonic acid treatment of RIES cell lysates and ionophore stimulation of intact RIES cells produced significantly more 15(R)-HETE than the untreated intact cells. These preparations also both produced 11(R)-HETE, which was not detected in the intact cells. Aspirin treatment of the intact unstimulated RIES cells resulted in the exclusive formation of 15(R)-HETE in amounts that were slightly higher than the original 15(S)-HETE observed in the absence of aspirin, implying that significant amounts of 15(R)-HPETE had also been formed. 15(R)-HPETE should give exactly the same amount of heptanone-etheno-2'-deoxyguanosine as its 15(S)-enantiomer. However, no increase in heptanone-etheno adduct formation occurred in the aspirin-treated cells. The present study suggests a potential mechanism of tumorigenesis that involves DNA adduct formation from COX-2-mediated lipid peroxidation rather than prostaglandin formation. Therefore, inhibition of COX-2-mediated lipid hydroperoxide formation offers a potential therapeutic alternative to COX-2 inhibitors in chemoprevention strategies. 相似文献

Flurbiprofen, 2-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)propionic acid, inhibited the formation of prostaglandin E2 from arachidonic acid by bovine seminal vesicular microsomes. It was found that flurbiprofen was an approx. 12.5-fold better inhibitor than indomethacin by comparison of their I50 values. It was suggested that the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by flurbiprofen might be due to the inhibition of the endoperoxygenase which catalyzed conversion of arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxide. Other carboxylic acid compounds such as aspirin, ibuprofen and indomethacin showed the same type of inhibition as flurbiprofen. In contrast, phenylbutazone which was a pyrozolone derivative inhibited the formation of prostaglandin E2, but not affected the endoperoxygenase reaction. The kinetic studies for inhibition of prostaglandin E2 synthetase indicated that flurbiprofen competitively inhibited prostaglandin E2 synthesis, just like indomethacin. The Ki values were estimated to be 0.128 micron for flurbiprofen and 3.18 micron for indomethacin. 相似文献
