ACA

The Uses of ACA

N-(p-amylcinnamoyl) Anthranilic acid (ACA) is a channel blocker that acts on several transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, including TRPM2, TRPM8, and TRPC6 (IC50 = 1.7, 3.8, and 2.3 μM, respectively). It is a weak inhibitor of TRPV1. ACA is also an inhibitor of phospholipase A2, blocking the release of arachidonic acid when given at 50 μM.

What are the applications of Application

N-(p-Amylcinnamoyl) anthranilic Acid (ACA) is a TRP channel modulator and PLA2 inhibitor

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.
