Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) catalyzes the hydrolysis of the sn-2 fatty acyl group [predominantly arachidonic acid (AA)] of membrane phospholipids, the products of which are further metabolized, forming a variety of eicosanoids and/or platelet-activating factor. PLA2 activity is significantly enhanced during inflammation and therefore offers an intriguing target in designing anti-inflammatory drugs. SB 203347 (2-[2-[3,5-bis (trifluoromethyl) sulfonamido]-4- trifluoromethylphenoxy] benzoic acid) potently inhibits rh type II 14 kDa PLA2 (IC50 = 0.5 microM) but exhibits a 40-fold weaker inhibition of 85 kDa PLA2 (IC50 = 20 microM) using [3H]-AA E. coli as substrate. A specific interaction with rh type II 14 kDa PLA2 was confirmed both by observing the pH dependence of its IC50 and by demonstrating linear inhibition in a "scooting" kinetic model using radiolabeled phospholipid reporter substrate in a 1,2-dimyristoyl phosphatidylmethanol vesicle. Before evaluating the effect of SB 203347 on AA metabolism in intact human neutrophil, we showed that it fully inhibits PLA2 activity in acid extracted-intact human neutrophil homogenate (IC50 = 4.7 microM). SB 203347 inhibited A23187-induced intact human neutrophil AA mass release in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 = 1 microM), which coincided with reductions in the biosynthesis of platelet-activating factor (IC50 = 1.5 microM) and leukotriene B4 (IC50 = 2.3 microM). Finally, SB 203347 prolonged survival in a mouse model of endotoxin shock delivered i.p. Taken together, the data support a role of cellular 14 kDa PLA2 in the formation of AA-derived proinflammatory lipid mediator.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
