Arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (ATK) is an analog of arachidonic acid.^[1] that inhibits some isoforms of the enzyme phospholipase A2.^[2] Specifically it inhibits the 85 kDa cystolic PLA2 (cPLA2).^[2]

It has been studied as a neuroprotective agent after spinal cord injury,^[2]^[3] and in animal models of multiple sclerosis.^[4]
