Carbamyl-PAF
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Carbamyl-PAF (C-PAF) is a metabolically stable platelet-activating factor analog and PAF receptor agonist that activates G protein-coupled PAF receptors, triggering calcium mobilization, NF-κB activation, and downstream signaling, thereby inducing neutrophil recruitment, inflammatory responses, and ROS generation. Carbamyl-PAF is used in research on obesity, pulmonary inflammation, Zellweger syndrome, and non-melanoma skin cancer.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Carbamyl-PAF (100 nM; 1-3 h) increases PAR2 mRNA expression in RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages[3].
Carbamyl-PAF (100 nM; 7 days) decreases neurosphere formation and promotes a differentiated epithelial phenotype in PE-derived neurospheres from adult BALB/cJ mouse ciliary epithelium, while inhibiting the expression of retinal progenitor and pluripotency markers[5].
Carbamyl-PAF (100 nM; 3 days) inhibits the proliferation of cultured normal human epidermal keratinocytes[6].
Carbamyl-PAF (100 nM; 7 days) alone does not affect cornified envelope formation, but reverses Apafant (WEB 2086) (HY-108634)-induced stimulation of cornified envelope formation in cultured normal human epidermal keratinocytes[6].
Carbamyl-PAF (0.5 mM; 80 seconds) pretreatment restores NMDA (HY-17551) (50 μM)-induced cytosolic calcium responses to wild-type levels in Pxr1-/- mouse embryonic neuronal cultures[8].

Result:Had no effect on cornified envelope formation alone but reversed the WEB 2086 (100 nM)-induced stimulation of cornified envelope formation.
In Vivo
Carbamyl-PAF (100 nM; i.n.; 20 µL) induces the production of neutrophil chemoattractants CXCL1 and CXCL2 in the lungs of BALB/c mice, whereas blocking PAR2 with ENMD1068 reduces this production[4].
Carbamyl-PAF (100 nM; i.n.) promotes leukocyte rolling and adhesion in the mesenteric microcirculation of BALB/c mice, a process that is inhibited by the PAR2 antagonist ENMD1068[4].
