Abstract:Benoxaprofen was previously found to inhibit the random and leucoattractant-induced migration of human polymorphonuclear leucocytes in vitro by a pro-oxidative mechanism [1]. In this study the effects of benoxaprofen on the binding to PMNL of the synthetic chemotactic tripeptide FMLP, on the oxidative inactivation of this leucoattractant by PMNL and on PMNL chemotaxis, chemokinesis and orientation in an FMLP gradient have been investigated. At concentrations of 10(-5) M (3 micrograms/ml) benoxaprofen inhibited… Show more
