Application
Umbelliferyl Arachidonate also known as 7-Hydroxycoumarinyl Arachidonate was used as a fluorogenic substrate for developing a fluorescence-based assay to evaluate the inhibitors against human recombinant monoacylglycerol lipase.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) protein facilitates the hydrolysis of Umbelliferyl Arachidonate and generates arachidonic acid and the highly fluorescent 7-hydroxyl coumarin (7-HC). Hence, it acts as a marker in a fluorescence-based assay.
Preparation Note
Umbelliferyl Arachidonate can be dissolved in DMSO at 25 mg/ml and in DMF at 50 mg/ml. The product is sparingly soluble in aqueous buffers.
