drug development | potential therapeutic role for cPLA2 alpha inhibitors in the treatment of human rheumatoid arthritis. Oral administration of pyrroxyphene achieves anti-arthritic activity through inhibition of cPLA2 alpha activity, which leads to a reduction in eicosanoid levels and suppression of matrix metalloproteinases and cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA expression | Mus musculus |
