Description

IC50 & Target
In Vitro
MAFP inhibits iPLA2, in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 of 0.5 μM after a 5 min preincubation at 40°C in P388D1 cells. cPLA, is a phospholipid hydrolase using the hydroxyl of serine-228 residue as its catalytic nucleophile[1]. MAFP is also an inhibitor of anandamide amidase and as a ligand for the CB1 cannabinoid receptor. MAFP demonstrates selectivity towards anandamide amidase for which it is approximately 3000 and 30000-fold more potent than it is towards chymotrypsin and trypsin, respectively. MAFP displaces [3H]CP-55940 binding to the CB1 cannabinoid receptor with an IC50 of 20 nM vs 40 nM for anandamide[2].
