Primary TargetABHD16A

Cell permeable: yes

General description

A cell-permeable beta-lactone based compound that acts as a potent, selective, and covalent inhibitor of phosphatidylserine (PS) lipase ABHD16A (BAT5, IC₅₀ = 90 and 520 nM for human and mouse ABHD16A, respectively). Displays reduced effect on ~60 other serine hydrolases profiled. Shown to block the PS lipase activity of membrane fractions from COLO205, K562 and MCF7 cell lines and is also shown to diminish the PS lipase activity of brain membrane lysates from Abhd12+/+ (IC₅₀ = 290 nM) and Abhd12-/- (IC₅₀ = 340 nM) mice. Significantly reduces lysophosphatidylserine (lyso-PSs) levels in cells, without affecting the levels of other lipids, such as phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethano-lamines (PE), lyso-PCs, lyso-PEs or monoacylglycerols. Blunts lipopolysaccharide-induce release of IL-6, IL-1β in mouse macrophages.
