Abstract

This paper described the effect of Fluosol® on phospholipase A₂ activity both _vitro and in vivo. This compound inhibited both postheparin plasma and hepatic phospholipase A₂ activities. Furthermore, in Fluosol transfussed rats the postheparin plasma phospholipase A₂ activity was 41% below that observed in control animals. The inhibition of phospholipase A₂ activity was due to the micellar forms of pluoronic, F-68, a detergent present in Fluosol. It is postulated that the inhibition of phospholipase A₂ activity by Fluosol might interfere with the release of arachidonic acid, a substrate used in biosynthesis of prostaglandin.
