(E/Z)-Polydatin (Polydatin), is a natural precursor and glycoside form of resveratrol with a monocrystalline structure. While it is isolated from the bark of Picea sitchensis or Polygonum cuspidatum, Polydatin may be detected in grape, peanut, hop cones, red wines, hop pellets, cocoa-containing products, chocolate products and many daily diets. Polydatin possesses anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, anti-oxidative and anti-tumor activities. It is shown to mediate a cytotoxic action on colorectal cancer cells by inducing cell arrest and apoptosis.

Carbazochrome (Adchnon) is an antihemorrhagic, or hemostatic, agent that will cease blood flow by causing the aggregation and adhesion of platelets in the blood to form a platelet plug, ceasing blood flow from an open wound. It is hoped that this drug can be used in the future for preventing excessive blood flow during surgical operations and the treatment of hemorrhoids, but research on its effectiveness and the severity of possible side effects remains to be fairly inconclusive. Carbazochrome has been investigated for use in the treatment of hemorrhoids in a mixture with troxerutin.

Atg4B-IN-2. A potent, selective Atg4B inhibitor with anticancer activity, inhibits both Atg4B and PLA2, enabling autophagy that counteracts the anticancer activity of anti-desiccation-resistant prostate cancer drugs.

Melittin Acetate (Forapin Acetate) is a PLA2 activator. Melittin Acetate stimulates the activity of the low molecular weight PLA2, while it does not increase the activity of the high molecular weight PLA2.

Bromoenol lactone ((6E)-Bromoenol lactone) is a selective calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2β) and serine protease inhibitor that attenuates nicotine-induced breast cancer cell proliferation and migration, inhibits voltage-gated Ca2+ and transient receptor potential classical channels, and inhibits carrageenan-induced prostaglandin production and hyperalgesia in rat hind paws.

LY 178002 is an effective inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LPO), phospholipase A2 (IC50: 0.6 μM for 5-lipoxygenase). LY 178002 also inhibits cellular production of LTB4 by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes and displays relatively weak inhibition on cycloox

MAFP (Methyl Arachidonyl Fluorophosphonate) is an effective, active-site directed irreversible inhibitor of anandamide amidase, cPLA2, and iPLA2.

Varespladib (LY315920), a specific and effective human non-pancreatic secretory phospholipase A2 (hnsPLA) inhibitor(IC50=7 nM), has been investigated for the treatment and prevention of sickle cell disease, vaso-occlusive crisis, and acute coronary syndrome.

Anti-Inflammatory Peptide 1 Acetate (C45H82N12O14S2) possesses a potent anti-inflammatory activity in vivo and is a strong inhibitor of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), whose increased presence and activity results in inflammation and pain at certain bodily sites

Luffariellolide is a terpene compound obtained from the marine sponge Hyrtios communis. It is an inhibitor of human synoviocyte protein phospholipase A2 (HSF-PLA2) and a retinoic acid receptor (RAR) agonist. Luffariellolide inhibits hypoxia (1% O2)-induced HIF-1 activation and inhibits cell growth.

Tanshinone I (Tanshinone A), an active principle isolated from the herbal medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza, displays cytotoxicity against tumor cells.

Amentoflavone (3',8''-Biapigenin), as a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9, can interact with many other medications. CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 are proteins used for drug metabolism in the body. Amentoflavone also is an inhibitor of human cathepsin B. It has antimalarial activity in trials significant affinities towards the Delta-1, kappa opioid receptors (as an antagonist) and binds to benzodiazepine receptors. Amentoflavone may be a potential lead for a new type of anti-inflammatory agents having the dual inhibitory activity of group II phospholipase A2 and cyclooxygenase. Amentoflavone and quercetin differentially exerted suppression of PGE2 biosynthesis via downregulation of COX-2/iNOS expression.

9-Oxononanoic Acid is an oxidized fatty acid, formed by the autoxidation of linoleic acid, which enhances phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity and increases the production of thromboxane B2 in isolated human plasma.9-Oxononanoic Acid reduces hepatic neofatty acid synthesis and enhances the activity of rat hepatic carnitine palmitoyltransferase, a marker of β-oxidation. Activity.

1. Columbin has anti-inflammatory activity. 2. Columbin has chemopreventive ability against human colon cancer. 3. Columbin inhibits PLA2 hydrolysis of ghost RBC in a dose-dependent fashion.

N-(p-amylcinnamoyl) Anthranilic Acid (ACA) is a broad-spectrum Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibitor and a TRP channel blocker.

Halobetasol propionate (BMY-30056) is the propionate salt form of halobetasol, a synthetic corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictor activities. Halobetasol, a topical steroid, diffuses across cell membranes to interact with cytoplasmic corticosteroid receptors located in both the dermal and intradermal cells, thereby activating gene expression of anti-inflammatory proteins mediated via corticosteroid receptor response element. Specifically, this agent induces phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, which inhibit the release of arachidonic acid, thereby inhibiting the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. As a result, halobetasol reduces edema, erythema, and pruritus through its cutaneous effects on vascular dilation and permeability.

Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes fatty acids present in the sn-2 position of phospholipids, and is closely related to lipid metabolism and immune function.
