Immunopharmacology Comments
PLA2-G7 (also referred to as Lp-PLA2) is a pro-inflammatory enzyme. It cleaves oxidatively damaged phospholipid substrates to generate pro-inflammatory mediators including lysophosphatidylcholine and oxidized nonesterified fatty acids [5] and this activity has been linked to atherogenesis and cardiovascular disease. PLA2-G7 has been investigated as a CVD drug target, with one clinical candidate (darapladib) failing in Phase 3 trials. In addition, polymorphisms in the PLA2G7 gene are associated with atopy and asthma [3]. The search for drug-like PLA2-G7 inhibitors with alternative chemotypes to darapladib is continuing [4,7].
