Description
A selective inhibitor of human FLAP (IC50 = 2.9 nM); selective for FLAP over 5-, 12-, and 15-lipoxygenase, LTA4 hydrolase, LTC4 synthase, COX-1, and COX-2 (IC50s = >10 µm for all); inhibits production of LTB4 induced by the calcium ionophore A23187 in isolated whole blood from human, rat, and mouse (IC50s = 436, 223, and 148 nM, respectively); decreases increases in the levels of CysLT and LTB4 induced by lung instillation of A23187 in the BALF of rats at 1 or 3 mg/kg; reduces increases in the levels of CysLT, LTB4, MPO, and plasma protein extravasation in a mouse model of peritonitis induced by zymosan at 3 mg/kg
