1-Arachidonoyl lysophosphatidic acid is a phospholipid containing arachidonic acid at the sn-1 position. It has been found in rat brain as 37% of the arachidonic acid-containing lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) species and is a precursor to 1-arachidonoyl glycerol . 1-Arachidonoyl lysophosphatidic acid binds to the LPA2/EDG4 receptor with an EC50 value of approximately 10 nM. It prevents TNF-α and IL-6 secretion in wild-type but not Lpa2-/- dendritic cells stimulated by LPS. It also decreases differentiation of HT-29 human colon carcinoma cells to goblet cells in the presence of sodium butyrate.
1-Palmitoyl lysophosphatidic acid (1-Palmitoyl LPA) is a LPA analog containing palmitic acid at the sn-1 position. LPA binds to one of five different G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to mediate a variety of biological responses including cell proliferation, smooth muscle contraction, platelet aggregation, neurite retraction, and cell motility. In addition to playing a role in the aforementioned biological responses, 1-palmitoyl LPA enhances the action of β-lactam antibiotics (ampicillin, piperacillin, and ceftazidime) on various strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a pathogen associated with pulmonary disease and pneumonia, via binding both Ca2+ and Mg2+.
1-Octadecyl lysophosphatidic acid (1-octadecyl LPA) is a LPA analog containing stearic acid at the sn-1 position. LPA binds to one of five different G protein linked receptors to mediate a variety of biological responses including cell proliferation, smooth muscle contraction, platelet aggregation, neurite retraction, and cell motility. Alkyl ether-linked LPA derivatives have a higher platelet aggregating activity than the acyl derivatives, most likely stemming from an alkyl-specific LPA receptor. For example, 1-octadecyl LPA has a platelet aggregating EC50 value of 9 nM versus 1-octadecanoyl LPA which has an EC50 value of 177 nM.
PAT-048 is an effective and selective autotaxin inhibitor. PAT-048 reduces dermal fibrosis in vivo. PAT-048 also inhibits IL-6 mRNA expression but displays no effect on autotaxin protein and pulmonary lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) production in the lung fibrosis model. PAT-048 has an IC50 and IC90 of 20 nM and 200 nM for autotaxin in mouse plasma.
BMP-22 is an inhibitor of autotaxin (IC50 = 170 nM). It is selective for autotaxin over the phosphodiesterases NPP6 and NPP7 at 10 μM. BMP-22 (0.1-1,000 nM) inhibits autotaxin-mediated production of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) from lysophosphatidylcholine in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner. It inhibits LPC-dependent MM1 cell invasion of a human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) monolayer. BMP-22 (0.5 mg/kg per day) decreases the number of lung metastatic foci in a B16/F10 syngeneic mouse melanoma model of lung metastasis.
VPC12249, a lysophosphatidic acid receptor type 1 (LPA1) antagonist, plays a functional role in osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption activity.
PAT-347 is a potent Autotaxin Inhibitor. Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) to the bioactive lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and choline. The ATX-LPA signaling pathway is implicated in cell survival, migration, and proliferation; thus, the inhibition of ATX is a recognized therapeutic target for a number of diseases including fibrotic diseases, cancer, and inflammation, among others.
DCP-Rho1 is a fluorescent probe for the detection of sulfenic acid-containing proteins.1,2 It displays excitation emission maxima of 560 581 nm, respectively, and has been used to visualize protein oxidation sites in situ. |1.

Phosphatidic acid is a phospholipid and an intermediate in glycerolipid biosynthesis. It is a transient intermediate in the synthesis of various phospholipid species that is synthesized de novo in cells via multiple routes, including the glycerol-3 phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate pathways, enzymatic conversion of phosphatidylcholine by phospholipase D, and acetylation of lysophosphatidic acid by lysoPA-acyltransferase, among others. It has roles in shaping cellular membranes, cellular signaling, vesicle fission and fusion, as well as mitochondrial division and fusion. It stimulates respiratory burst in neutrophils independent of diacylglycerol and activates monoacylglycerol acyltransferase, phospholipase C (PLC), Ras, and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP4) kinase in several cell lines. Phosphatidic acids (egg) is a mixture of phosphatidic acids isolated from chicken egg with fatty acids of variable chain lengths.
PAT-347 is a potent inhibitor of Autotaxin (ATX), a secreted enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) to the bioactive lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and choline.
Cyclic Phosphatidic Acids (cPAs) are naturally occurring lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) analogs, characterized by a 5-membered ring formed between the sn-2 hydroxy group and the sn-3 phosphate. Carba-derivatives of cPA (ccPA) modify the sn-2 (2-ccPA) or sn-3 (3-ccPA) linkage, hindering the conversion of cPA into LPA. Oleoyl 3-Carbacyclic Phosphatidic Acid (3-ccPA 18:1) incorporates the 18:1 fatty acid oleate at the sn-1 position on the glycerol backbone, acting as a cyclic LPA analog. This compound, at a concentration of 25 μM, blocks MM1 cells' transcellular migration through mesothelial cell monolayers induced by fetal bovine serum (by 90.1%) or LPA (by 99.9%), without impeding cell proliferation. Additionally, 3-ccPA 18:1, in the 0.1-1.0 μM range, notably suppresses autotaxin, which plays a vital role in various cancer cell behaviors including survival, growth, migration, invasion, and metastasis.
1-Palmitoyl-d9-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-PA (1-palmitoyl-d9LPA) serves as an internal standard for the quantification of 1-palmitoyl LPA using GC- or LC-MS. This compound, an analog of LPA with palmitic acid at the sn-1 position, activates reporter gene expression in PC12 cells fitted with human lysophosphatidic acid receptor 4 (LPA4) at 0.01 to 10 µM concentrations. Additionally, 1-palmitoyl LPA prompts aggregation in isolated human platelets within the 12-300 µM range, a process reversible by prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), theophylline, or EDTA. It also interacts with calcium and magnesium to boost the efficacy of ampicillin, piperacillin, and ceftazidime against P. aeruginosa strains from cystic fibrosis patients.
