Chemical Structure

Biological activities

LY315920 is a potent, selective inhibitor of recombinant human, group IIA, nonpancreatic secretory PLA2 (sPLA2). LY315920 inhibits sPLA2 activity with an IC50 of 9 nM. LY315920 inhibits human sPLA2-induced release of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) from isolated guinea pig lung bronchoalveolar lavage cells with an IC50 of 0.79 μM. LY315920 is 40-fold less active against human, group IB, pancreatic sPLA2 and is inactive against cytosolic PLA2 and the constitutive and inducible forms of cyclooxygenase. The i.v. administration of LY315920, 5 minutes before harvesting the bronchoalveolar lavage cells, results in the inhibition of sPLA2-induced production of TXA2 with an AED50 of 16.1 mg/kg. LY315920 suppresses challenge of guinea pig lung pleural strips with sPLA2 produced contractile responses with an apparent KB of 83 nM.[1] LY315920 significantly inhibits sPLA2 activity present in BALF of neonates.[2] A high saturated fat, high cholesterol diet guinea pigs treated with LY315920 reduces atherosclerotic lesions by 24%.[3] LY315920 (1 mg/kg) inhibits PLA2 activity in transgenic mice overexpressing human sPLA2 group IIA in C57BL/6J background. In a high-fat diet model, LY315920 (30 and 90 mg/kg twice a day for 16 weeks) reduces aortic atherosclerosis by 50%. In an accelerated atherosclerosis model, with angiotensin II-induced aortic lesions and aneurysms, LY315920 (30 mg/kg twice a day) reduces aortic atherosclerosis by approximately 40% and attenuates aneurysm formation.[4] LY315920 decreases atherosclerotic lesion area by ~75% while increasing fibrous cap size by over 200%.[5]
