Popis: The role of the α,β-unsaturated aldehyde in the inhibition of PLA2 by scalaradial was investigated by reduction to the triol and oxidation to the diacid. The results demonstrate that the reactivity of the α,β-unsaturated aldehyde of scalaradial is not absolutely essential to its ability to inhibit PLA2 and lipid mediator production in the intact cell but adds significantly to its inhibitory potency.
