Abstract

Ester bond hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids by Phospholipase A 2 and consequent release of fatty acids are the initiating steps of inflammation. It is proposed in this study that the inhibition of phospholipase A 2 is one of the ways to control inflammation. Investigations are carried out to ide...
