ABSTRACT
Ether lipids are modifiers of biological responses, its have shown antitumoral, immunomodulator, antiinflammatory and antiangiogenic effects in different experimental models. 1-O-alkylglycerols are analogues of ether lipids, because its present the basic structure of the ethers lipids with many pharmacological properties. We evaluated the effects of 1-O-dodecylglycerol (DDG) in an inflammatory angiogenesis model of adjuvants induced granulome. DDG reduced the granulome weight and the neovascularization associated to its development. Additionally, this compound reduced the levels of total nitrites, as a measure of nitric oxide production and inhibited the activity of total phospholipase A
2 in this model.
