A novel ovary‐specific and ovulation‐associated variant of epoxide hydrolase 2 [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2007
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.

Effects of inflammation and soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibition on oxylipin composition of very low‐density lipoproteins in isolated perfused rat livers

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2021
Oxylipins are metabolites of polyunsaturated fatty acids that mediate cardiovascular health by attenuation of inflammation, vascular tone, hemostasis, and thrombosis.

Protective Effects of the Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibitor 1-Trifluoromethoxyphenyl-3-(1-Propionylpiperidin-4-yl) Urea in a Rat Model of Permanent Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
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 ...

Maresin biosynthesis and identification of maresin 2, a new anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving mediator from human macrophages. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
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 ...

Inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase by phytochemical constituents of the root bark of Ulmus davidiana var. japonica

open access: yesJournal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2021
A novel compound 1 and nine known compounds (2–10) were isolated by open column chromatography analysis of the root bark of Ulmus davidiana. Pure compounds (1–10) were tested in vitro to determine the inhibitory activity of the catalytic reaction of ...

Inhibitory Activity of Quaternary Isoquinoline Alkaloids on Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology, 2022
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

Limonene-1,2-Epoxide Hydrolase from Rhodococcus erythropolis DCL14 Belongs to a Novel Class of Epoxide Hydrolases [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1998
ABSTRACT An epoxide hydrolase from Rhodococcus erythropolis DCL14 catalyzes the hydrolysis of limonene-1,2-epoxide to limonene-1,2-diol. The enzyme is induced when R. erythropolis is grown on monoterpenes, reflecting its role in the limonene degradation pathway of this microorganism.

Exported Epoxide Hydrolases Modulate Erythrocyte Vasoactive Lipids during Plasmodium falciparum Infection

open access: yesmBio, 2016
Erythrocytes are reservoirs of important epoxide-containing lipid signaling molecules, including epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). EETs function as vasodilators and anti-inflammatory modulators in the bloodstream.
