The phospholipases are an extensive family of lipid hydrolases that function in cell signaling, digestion, membrane remodeling, and as venom components. The calcium-independent phospholipases (iPLA2) are a PLA2 subfamily closely associated with the release of arachidonic acid in response to physiologic stimuli. (R)-Bromoenol lactone ((R)-BEL) is an irreversible, chiral, mechanism-based inhibitor of calcium-independent phospholipase γ (iPLA2γ). Unlike (S)-BEL, (R)-BEL does not inhibit iPLA2β except at high doses of 20-30 μM. (R)-BEL inhibits human recombinant iPLA2γ with an IC50 of approximately 0.6 μM.

Epoxide hydrolases convert the EETs into vicinal diols, with the concurrent loss of much of their biological activity. The 8(S),9(R)-EET isomer is metabolized by platelet COX to form 8(S),9(R),11(R)-THETA, a trihydroxy fatty acid which may act as a renal vasoconstrictor.

Eicosapentaenoic acid is an ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid that is abundant in marine organisms and fish oils.

(±)5(6)-DiHETE is a possible metabolite produced from EPA following epoxidation of the α-5 double bond. The biological activity of (±)5(6)-DiHETE has not been documented.

JCP678 is an irreversible serine hydrolases inhibitor.

AB05831, also known as 2-Acetamido-1,2-dideoxynojirimycin, is a highly potent and specific inhibitor of beta-hexosaminidase. N-Acetyl-3-hexosaminidase (HEX) is a member of lysosomal hydrolases, which catalyzes hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing N-acetyl-|3-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) andN-acetyl-(3-D-galactosamine (GalNAc) residues in glycoproteins, gan-gliosides, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). HEX, released by chondrocytes into the extracellular compartment, promotes cartilage matrix degradation. Osteoarthritis patients have increased HEX activity in synovial fluid.
