Methyl arachidonate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Methyl arachidonate is a protein kinase C activator and also an orally active substrate that undergoes esterase-mediated hydrolysis. Methyl arachidonate indirectly activates protein kinase C via eicosanoid metabolites generated through the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway, exerting effects via cyclooxygenase products at low concentrations and via lipoxygenase products at high concentrations. Methyl arachidonate can be used in studies related to lipodystrophy.

Biological Activity
Methyl arachidonate (50 μM; 5 min) is poorly active in activating purified rat brain protein kinase C in a phosphatidylserine- and calcium-free in vitro assay, inducing less than 20% of maximal activation[1].
Methyl arachidonate (1-500 μM; 10 s-3 min) potently activates protein kinase C in intact human platelets in vitro in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, with maximal activation (101.0% of TPA control) at 500 μM for 1 min, and activation is mediated by eicosanoid metabolites, as shown by inhibition by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase inhibitors[1].
