Small peptides Do not inhibit human non-pancreatic secretory phospholipase-A(2) (Type IIA).

Seven small peptides, that are among the most potent reported inhibitors of secreted mammalian phospholipases A(2), were found not to inhibit processing of a small phospholipid substrate by human nonpancreatic secretory phospholipase A(2) (type IIa), under conditions where certain non-peptides are potent inhibitors at nanomolar concentrations.
