NCIt synonyms : (6E,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-1,1,1-trifluoro-4-thiadocosa-6,10,13,16,19-pentaen-2-one; Silicone-based Gel AVX001;
NCIt related terms : AVX-001;
NCIt definition : A topical preparation composed of a silicone gel containing a docosahexaenoic acid
derivative and cytosolic group IVA phospholipase A2 alpha (cytosolic phospholipase
A2 group IVA; cPLA2a; GIVA cPLA2; Group IVA cPLA2) inhibitor, with potential anti-inflammatory
activity. Upon topical application to the affected site(s), the cPLA2 inhibiting silicone-based
gel AVX001 binds to and inhibits the activity of cPLA2alpha. This may inhibit cPLA2alpha-mediated
inflammation. cPLA2alpha catalyzes the release of arachidonic acid from glycerophospholipids
and plays a key role in various inflammatory diseases. It is overexpressed in certain
cancer cells and may play a key role in proliferation, migration, and chemo-resistance.;
