Indomethacin and nordihydroguaiaretic acid inhibition of amyloid beta protein (25-35) activation of phospholipases A2 and D of LA-N-2 cells.

Amyloid beta protein (25-35) stimulates the phospholipase A2, C and D activation of LA-N-2 cells. Nordihydroguaiaretic acid reduced the phospholipase D activation by 30% (P < 0.008) and indomethacin reduced the phospholipase A2 activation by 58% (P < .001). There were no reductions of the amyloid beta protein activations by acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), gentisic acid, sulindac sulfone and acetaminophen. The activation of phospholipase C by amyloid beta protein was unaffected by these compounds.
