Uses
N-(p-Amylcinnamoyl)anthranilic acid has been used as a transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 2 (TRPM2) inhibitor, in studying its role in regulating the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Definition
ChEBI: N-(p-amylcinnamoyl)anthranilic acid is an amidobenzoic acid that is anthranilic acid in which one of the anilino hydrogens is replaced by a 4-pentylcinnamoyl group. It is a transient receptor potential (TRP) channel blocker and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibitor. It has a role as an EC 3.1.1.4 (phospholipase A2) inhibitor and a TRP channel blocker. It is an amidobenzoic acid, a member of cinnamamides and a secondary carboxamide.
General Description
N-(p-Amylcinnamoyl)anthranilic acid (ACA) functions as a broad spectrum phospholipase A2 inhibitor and blocks transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. It inhibits calcium activated chloride current in cardiac ventricular myocytes. ACA regulates various ion channels.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Broad spectrum phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibitor and TRP channel blocker.
