LTF4 is a cysteinyl-leukotriene produced in vitro, but not reported to date in vivo. It is formed by the incubation of LTE4 with γ-glutamyl transpeptidase and glutathione. LTF4 is a weak agonist in its ability to contract vascular smooth muscle. [1] The rank order of potency of the cysteinyl-leukotrienes to contract vascular smooth muscle is LTD4 > LTC4 > LTE4 >> LTF4. [1] [2]

Produced by neutrophils, macrophages, mast cells, and by transcellular metabolism in platelets, leukotriene C4 (LTC4) is the parent cysteinyl leukotriene formed by the LTC4 synthase-catalyzed conjugation of glutathione to LTA4. It is one of the constituents of slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) and exhibits potent smooth muscle contracting activity. LTC4, however, is rapidly metabolized to LTD4 and LTE4, which makes the characterization of LTC4 pharmacology difficult. N-methyl Leukotriene C4 (N-methyl LTC4) is a synthetic analog of LTC4 that is not readily metabolized to LTD4 and LTE4.It acts as a potent and selective CysLT2 receptor agonist exhibiting EC50 values of 122 and > 2,000 nM at the human CysLT2 and CysLT1 receptors, respectively. It has essentially the same potency as LTC4 at both the human and murine receptors CysLT2 receptors. N-methyl LTC4 is potent and active in vivo, causing vascular leak in mice overexpressing the human CysLT2 receptor but not in CysLT2 receptor knockout mice.

The group IVA phospholipase A2 (PLA2), known as calcium-dependent cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2), selectively releases arachidonic acid (AA) from membrane phospholipids, playing a central role in initiating the synthesis of prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs). Pyrrophenone inhibits cPLA2α with an IC50 of 4.2 nM in enzyme assays and potently blocks the release of AA and the production of PGE2 and LTC4 in cells (IC50 = 24, 25, and 14 nM, respectively). Its action is reversible and selective, as pyrrophenone inhibits the secretory type IB and IIA PLA2s with more than a hundred-fold less potency. Pyrrophenone has also been shown to inhibit calcium ionophore (A23187)-stimulated AA release from monocytic cells, interleukin-1-induced PGE2 synthesis in mesangial cells, and the production of PGE2, LTs, and platelet-activating factor by human neutrophils, always with maximal inhibition at concentrations below 1 μM.

Quinotolast sodium inhibits histamine, LTC4 and PGD2 release in a concentration-dependent manner in the concentration range of 1-100 μg mL.

CI-949 is an allergic mediator release inhibitor that inhibits the release of leukotriene C4 D4 (LTC4 LTD4), histamine, and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) with IC50 values of 0.5 μM, 11.4 μM, and 0.1 μM, respectively.

NZ-107 is an LTB4, LTC4 and LTD4 antagonist.

CPI1 is an effective and highly specific inhibitor of multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1). It exhibits inhibitory activity against MRP1 at the nanomolar level (Ki: 100 nM) and has minimal effect on P-glycoprotein (Pgp). CPI1 competes with LTC4 for binding to the same site on MRP1, inhibiting ATP hydrolysis and substrate transport. It is useful in research related to drug delivery and addressing cancer chemotherapy resistance.

HAMI 3379 (HAMI3379) is a selective cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 2 (CysLT2) antagonist that dose- and time-dependently attenuates brain damage and inhibits microglial cell inflammation following focal cerebral ischemia in rats and attenuates ischemia-like neuronal damage by inhibiting microglial activation.

Pranlukast hemihydrate is used in the study of asthma.

Leukotriene C4 (14,15-LTC4) is an inflammatory mediator synthesized from arachidonic acid through the actions of 15- and 12-lipoxygenases (LOs), involving intermediates such as 15-HpETE and 14,15-LTA4. Unlike the majority of leukotrienes formed via the 5-LO pathway, 14,15-LTC4 is an eoxin predominantly produced by eosinophils, although mast cells and nasal polyps can also synthesize it. While its physiological roles are not well understood, 14,15-LTC4 exhibits limited contractile activity on guinea pig ileum and pulmonary parenchyma. However, it can increase vascular permeability in human endothelial cell monolayers in vitro with potency comparable to 5-LO-derived leukotrienes, contributing to plasma leakage characteristic of inflammation.

Leukotriene C4 (LTC4) is the parent cysteinyl-leukotriene produced by the LTC4 synthase-catalyzed conjugation of glutathione to LTA4. LTC4 is produced by neutrophils, macrophages, and mast cells, and by transcellular metabolism in platelets. It is one of the constituents of slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) and exhibits potent smooth muscle contracting activity. LTC4-induced bronchoconstriction and enhanced vascular permeability contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma and acute allergic hypersensitivity. The concentration of LTC4 required to produce marked contractions of lung parenchymal strips and isolated tracheal rings is about 1 nM. LTC4 methyl ester is a more lipid soluble form of LTC4. The biological activity of LTC4 methyl ester has not been reported.
