| Name | Zileuton |
| Description | 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. |
| In vitro | Zileuton inhibited PGE2 production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human whole blood. In rat carrageenan gum-induced pleurisy, Zileuton decreased PGE2 and 6-ketoprostaglandin F1α pleural levels. In activated mouse peritoneal macrophages and macrophage J774, Zileuton significantly reduced PGE2 and 6-keto prostaglandin F1α levels. In macrophages, Zileuton inhibited PG biosynthesis by interfering with arachidonic acid release. |
