Arachidonyl Trifluoromethyl Ketone inhibits the release of arachidonic acid (IC50=8 μM, 2 x 106 cell ml-1) and platelets (IC50=2 μM, 4 x 107 cell ml-1) from U937 cells attacked by calcium ion carriers [1].
Arachidonyl Trifluoromethyl Ketone (10 μM) inhibits phosphate induced calcification and osteogenic/chondrogenic signaling in HAoSMC. Arachidonyl Trifluoromethyl Ketone significantly inhibits basal and Pi induced release of arachidonic acid (a product of PLA2 activity).
