A Long-Wavelength, Fluorogenic Probe for Epoxide Hydrolase: 7-(2-(Oxiran-2-yl)ethoxy) Resorufin
Epoxide hydrolase plays an important role in the detoxification of genotoxic compounds and in the control of physiological signaling molecules. Altered levels of epoxide hydrolase activity are associated with many diseases, such as emphysema, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and laryngeal carcinoma. We designed and synthesized a resorufin-based fluorogenic

Inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is implicated as a new therapeutic approach against inflammatory disorders in the context of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. In the course of our ongoing research on sEH inhibitors, we synthesized novel piperidine/piperazine amide derivatives of the chromone-2-carboxylic acid, and evaluated their ...

Dual inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 and soluble epoxide hydrolase synergistically suppresses primary tumor growth and metastasis [PDF]
SignificanceOur study suggests that cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) pathways have potent synergistic antiangiogenic and anticancer activity. Dual pharmacological inhibition of COX-2 and sEH pathways may be useful in treating cancer with minimal toxicity associated with COX-2 inhibition.

Elevation of hepatic microsomal epoxide hydrolase activity by 2-acetylaminofluorene: strain and species differences [PDF]
Hepatocarcinogens have been shown to cause marked elevation of hepatic microsomal epoxide hydrolyase activity in the rat at short intervals after administration. The present studies were designed to characterize 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF) mediated epoxide hydrolase elevation and to investigate the relationship between epoxide hydrolase increases, AAF ...

A novel ovary‐specific and ovulation‐associated variant of epoxide hydrolase 2 [PDF]
Ovulation is a complex process initiated by the surge of the pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH) that provokes the expression of specific genes. We report herein the isolation and characterization of an ovulation‐associated, ovary‐specific novel isoform of epoxide hydrolase 2 (Ephx2), Ephx2C.

Acute ischemic stroke is a serious disease that endangers human health. In our efforts to develop an effective therapy, we previously showed that the potent, highly selective inhibitor of soluble epoxide hydrolase called 1-trifuoromethoxyphenyl-3-(1 ...

Inhibitory Activity of Quaternary Isoquinoline Alkaloids on Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase
The quaternary isoquinoline alkaloids of palmatine (1), berberine (2), and jatrorrhizine (3) were evaluated in terms of their ability to inhibit soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). They had similar inhibitory activities, with IC50 values of 29.6 ± 0.5, 33.4

Maresin biosynthesis and identification of maresin 2, a new anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving mediator from human macrophages. [PDF]
Maresins are a new family of anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving lipid mediators biosynthesized from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by macrophages. Here we identified a novel pro-resolving product, 13R,14S-dihydroxy-docosahexaenoic acid (13R,14S-diHDHA ...
