Notes: D609 is a xanthate and a competitive inhibitor of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC; Ki = 6.4 µM).{26211} It has no effect on bacterial phosphatidylinositol-specific PLC, bovine pancreatic PLA2, or phospholipase D.{26213} D609 reduces sphingomyelin synthase activity by 55.5 and 90.5% in membrane preparations when used at concentrations of 100 and 200 mg/ml, respectively.{26214} Similar to other xanthates, D609 has antioxidant, antiviral, and anti-tumor activities.{26213} In addition, it has anti-inflammatory actions, inhibiting LPS-stimulated expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in phagocytes (IC50 = 20 µg/ml) and IL-1β-induced expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) in endothelial cells.{26212,3364}
