Phospholipase A2 Inhibitors Modulate the Effect of Trifluoperazine on the Intracellular Ca2+ Concentration in Macrophages

详细

Using Fura-2AM microfluorimetry, it was shown for the first time that phospholipase A₂ inhibitors 4-bromophenacyl bromide and glucocorticosteroids prednisolone and dexamethasone attenuate Ca²⁺ responses induced by neuroleptic trifluoperazine in macrophages. The results suggest the involvement of phospholipase A₂ and arachidonic acid metabolism cascade in the effect of trifluoperazine on intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration in macrophages.
