Bunaprolast (U66858) is a novel and potent leukotriene B4 (LTB4) inhibitor.Bunaprolast exhibits oxidative degradation activity and inhibits lipoxygenase and TXB2 release.

CJ-13,610 is an orally active and nonredox-type inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX). CJ-13,610 inhibits the biosynthesis of leukotriene B4 and regulates the expression of IL-6 mRNA in macrophages.

Efletirizine (UCB-28754) is a histamine receptor antagonist with inhibitory effects on the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), and is useful in the topical treatment of allergic diseases.

ER-34122, a novel orally available dual 5-lipoxygenase/cyclooxygenase inhibitor, exhibits potent anti-inflammatory activity in an arachidonic acid-induced ear inflammation model.

Zileuton (A 64077) is a synthetic derivative of hydroxyurea with antiasthmatic properties. The leukotriene inhibitor zileuton blocks 5-lipoxygenase, which catalyzes the formation of leukotrienes from arachidonic acid; causes bronchodilation; decreases bronchial mucous secretion and edema; and may prevent or decrease the symptoms of asthma.

Phenidone (1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidinone) is a dual inhibitor of cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenases that ameliorates rat paralysis in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by suppressing its target enzymes[1]. The lipoxygenase inhibitor phenidone is a potent hypotensive agent in the spontaneously hypertensive rat[2].

Esculetin (Cichorigenin) is a coumarin derivative from various natural plant products with various biological and pharmaceutical properties including anti-edema, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumour effects. It inhibits lipoxygenases (LOs).

Caffeic acid is a dual inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase and TRPV1 ion channels.

Abietic Acid (Sylvic acid) is a diterpene extracted from Pimenta racemosavar. grissea with antimicrobial, antiproliferative and anti-obesity activities. It inhibits lipoxygenase activity and may be studied in allergic diseases.

Malotilate (Kantec) is a medicine used for the therapy of liver cirrhosis.

2,5-Di-tert-butylhydroquinone (BHQ) is an effective and selective endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor.

Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) is a natural product, extracted from Pole Fork Kelaroa, and is a lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitor (IC50=8 μM). Nordihydroguaiaretic acid possesses antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties.

Cirsiliol is a 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitor and low affinity benzodiazepine receptor ligand.Cirsiliol inhibits cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis of OS cells.Cirsiliol shows antitumor activity against OS cells in an in situ xenograft tumor model and can be used to study colon cancer.

Enazadrem, a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor, exhibits anti-inflammatory activities.

Lycopodine, a bioactive compound derived from Lycopodium clavatum spores, effectively inhibits the proliferation of HeLa cells through the induction of apoptosis. This process is mediated by caspase-3 activation. In refractory prostate cancer cells, Lycopodine triggers apoptosis by modulating 5-lipoxygenase and depolarizing the mitochondrial membrane potential, without altering p53 activity.
