leukotriene d-4

Leukotriene D4 (LTD4) is a potent pro-inflammatory mediator formed from arachidonic acid, a bronchoconstrictor, and induces osteoclast senescence.Leukotriene D4 induces transcriptional activity of potentially oncogenic genes and can be used in the study of asthma.

RS-601 is a potent dual leukotriene D4/thromboxane A2 inhibitor that inhibits antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and shows asthmatic effects in a guinea pig model of asthma.

ONO4057 is a potent and orally active Leukotriene B4 receptor antagonist with an IC50 value of 0.7±0.3 μM. Immunosuppressive effect of ONO4057 on rat allografts.

14,15-Leukotriene D4 (14,15-LTD4) is a member of an alternate class of LTs synthesized by a pathway involving the dual actions of 15- and 12-lipoxygenases (15- and 12-LOs) on arachidonic acid via 15-HpETE and 14,15-LTA4 intermediates. 14,15-LTD4 is classified as an eoxin (EXD4), because it is formed mostly by eosinophils. However, mast cells and nasal polyps can synthesize 14,15-LTD4 as well. Little is known about the physiological actions of 14,15-LTD4. It has weak contractile activity on both guinea pig ileum and pulmonary parenchyma in contrast to the effects of 5-LO-derived LTs. However, in an in vitro permeability assay, 14,15-LTD4 can increase vascular permeability of human endothelial cell monolayers, with similar potency to that of 5-LO-derived LTs, resulting in plasma leakage, a hallmark of inflammation.

11-trans Leukotriene D4 (11-trans LTD4) is a C-11 double bond isomer of LTD4. LTD4 undergoes slow temperature-dependent isomerization to 11-trans LTD4 during storage. 11-trans LTD4 retains about 10-25% of the potency for contraction of guinea pig ileum, trachea, and parenchyma compared to LTD4. It exhibits an ED50 ranging between 12-60 nM for contraction of guinea pig trachea.

Pobilukast (SKF 104353) is a selective cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist that blocks phosphatidylinositol metabolism and leukotriene D-induced thromboxane synthesis, and can be used to study limiting myocardial damage in excessively myocardial reperfusion-injured (MI/R) rats.128-63-53-4

Parogrelil Free Base (NM-702 Free Base) is a selective phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitor with bronchodilatory and anti-inflammatory effects, inhibits leukotriene (LT)D(4) and histamine-induced constriction of isolated guinea pig tracheal strips, and can be used in the study of bronchial asthma.

Olsalazine-13C6is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of olsalazine by GC- or LC-MS. Olsalazine is an orally bioavailable prodrug form of the anti-inflammatory agent 5-aminosalicylic acid that is cleaved by bacterial azo reductases in the gut to generate active 5-ASA.1In vitro, olsalazine increases ion transport in isolated rabbit distal ileum when applied to the luminal side (ED50= 0.3 mM) and stimulates fluid transport in rat jejunum when used at a concentration of 5 mM.2,3Olsalazine (150 mg/kg for 8 days) improves stool consistency and decreases occult and gross bleeding as well as myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and leukotriene B4levels in colon tissue in a mouse model of acute colitis induced by dextran sulfate .4Olsalazine also inhibits bovine xanthine oxidasein vitro(IC50= 3.4 mg/L) and lowers serum uric acid levels in a mouse model of hyperuricemia induced by oxonic acid when administered at a dose of 20 mg/kg.5Formulations containing olsalazine have been used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and ulcerative colitis. 1.Nugent, S.G., Kumar, D., Rampton, D.S., et al.Intestinal luminal pH in inflammatory bowel disease: Possible determinants and implications for therapy with aminosalicylates and other drugsGut48(4)571-577(2001) 2.Pamukcu, R., Hanauer, S.B., and Chang, E.B.Effect of disodium azodisalicylate on electrolyte transport in rabbit ileum and colon in vitro.
