A high throughput screen identifies potent and selective inhibitors to human epithelial 15-lipoxygenase-2. [PDF]
Lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes catalyze the hydroperoxidation of arachidonic acid and other polyunsaturated fatty acids to hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids with varying positional specificity to yield important biological signaling molecules.

Modulation of Cox-1, 5-, 12- and 15-Lox by popular herbal remedies used in southern Italy against psoriasis and other skin diseases. [PDF]
Acanthus mollis (Acanthaceae), Achillea ligustica, Artemisia arborescens and Inula viscosa (Asteraceae) are used in Southern Italy against psoriasis and other skin diseases that occur with an imbalanced production of eicosanoids.

Inhibition of tumour growth by lipoxygenase inhibitors [PDF]
The potential involvement of lipoxygenase metabolites in the tumour growth stimulatory activity of arachidonic and linoleic acid has been studied using the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors, BWA4C, BWB70C and Zileuton. In vitro the former two agents were relatively potent inhibitors of growth of murine adenocarcinomas (MACs) with IC50 values < 10 microM ...

Drug-tolerant persister cancer cells are vulnerable to GPX4 inhibition. [PDF]
Acquired drug resistance prevents cancer therapies from achieving stable and complete responses. Emerging evidence implicates a key role for non-mutational drug resistance mechanisms underlying the survival of residual cancer 'persister' cells.

Comparison of eight 15-lipoxygenase (LO) inhibitors on the biosynthesis of 15-LO metabolites by human neutrophils and eosinophils. [PDF]
Neutrophils and eosinophils are important sources of bioactive lipids from the 5- and the 15-lipoxygenase (LO) pathways. Herein, we compared the effectiveness of humans eosinophils and eosinophil-depleted neutrophils to synthesize 15-LO metabolites using

Inhibitors of Human 5-Lipoxygenase Potently Interfere With Prostaglandin Transport
5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) is the key enzyme in the formation of pro-inflammatory leukotrienes (LT) which play an important role in a number of inflammatory diseases.

Probing the Electrostatic and Steric Requirements for Substrate Binding in Human Platelet-Type 12-Lipoxygenase. [PDF]
Human platelet ALOX12 (hALOX12 or h12-LOX) has been implicated in a variety of human diseases. The present study investigates the active site of hALOX12 to more thoroughly understand how it positions the substrate and achieves nearly perfect regio- and ...
