1 p-Bromphenacyl bromide (BPB) at concentrations of 50 microM and above and quinacrine (50 microM) abolished the actions of prolactin (PRL) on casein and lipid biosynthesis in cultured mouse mammary gland explants. bpb prolactin Mus musculus
2 Since BPB and quinacrine are known to inhibit the enzyme phospholipase A2 (PLA2), it is possible that ongoing PLA2 activity is essential for prolactin to express its actions on at least certain lactogenic processes. bpb prolactin Mus musculus
