Dihydrosphingosine
This small molecule inhibitor selectively targets cytosolic phospholipase A2 alpha (cPLA2α), blocking its activity and the subsequent release of arachidonic acid. It is a valuable research tool for studying lipid signaling pathways in inflammation and apoptosis, applicable in both cellular and biochemical assay systems.
