Myristoyllysophosphatidylcholine
Myristoyllysophosphatidylcholine is a NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor with multiple activities including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Myristoyllysophosphatidylcholine inhibits LPS-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation, reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, decreases ROS and MDA levels, alleviates lung tissue and cell damage, and mediates apoptosis. Myristoyllysophosphatidylcholine serves as a myristate donor for myristoylation of the Glucose-6-Phosphate Isomerase (GPI) anchor in Trypanosoma brucei and undergoes hydrolysis. Myristoyllysophosphatidylcholine acts as a biomarker for the severity of community-acquired pneumonia. Myristoyllysophosphatidylcholine can be used in research related to diseases such as community-acquired pneumonia and acute lung injury.

Myristoyllysophosphatidylcholine (LPC 14:0) (10-40 μM; 1 h pretreatment, 12 h LPS exposure) shows no toxicity to RAW 264.7 cells at concentrations up to 20 μM, while higher concentrations combined with LPS reduce cell viability[1].
Myristoyllysophosphatidylcholine (20 μM; 1 h pretreatment, 12 h LPS exposure) significantly reduces LPS-induced apoptosis and ROS production in RAW 264.7 cells; it significantly attenuates the depletion of SOD and GSH; and it significantly inhibits the secretion of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α[1].
Myristoyllysophosphatidylcholine (10-20 μM; 1 h pretreatment, 12 h LPS exposure) significantly inhibits LPS-induced activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in RAW 264.7 cells, including reducing the expression of NLRP3, TXNIP, Caspase-1 and IL-1β[1].
Myristoyllysophosphatidylcholine (M-LPC) radiolabeled probe [3H]myristoyllysophosphatidylcholine (78 nM; 0-40 min) labels free GPI lipids in cultured Trypanosoma brucei MITat 1.2 variant 221 at an identical rate to [3H]myristate, undergoes rapid hydrolysis to extracellular free myristic acid, and labels phosphatidylcholine in serum-free medium[2].
Myristoyllysophosphatidylcholine (2.5 µM) inhibits VSG myristoylation mediated by 360 nM [3H]myristic acid by 30% in cultured Trypanosoma brucei MITat 1.2 strain 221 variant[2].
