Selective inhibition of arachidonate 5‐lipoxygenase by novel acetohydroxamic acids: effects on bronchial anaphylaxis in anaesthetized guinea‐pigs

Abstract: 1 The effect of a novel series of orally-active acetohydroxamic acid inhibitors of arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase on 'leukotriene-dependent' anaphylactic bronchoconstriction has been investigated in anaesthetized, pump-ventilated guinea-pigs actively sensitized to ovalbumin (OA). In a complementary series of experiments, the pharmacokinetics of these compounds in the plasma compartment following oral administration to guinea-pigs has also been investigated. 2 In animals pretreated with mepyramine (2mgkg-, i.v.) a… Show more

“…Since it has been reported that both BW A4C, a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor, and FPL55712 inhibited anaphylactic bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs pretreated with indomethacin and mepyr amine (27), SRS-A is one of the main mediators of anaphylactic bronchoconstriction in this widely used model of "asthma" (28)(29)(30). From the fact that ONO 1078 (3 -10 mg/kg, p.o.)…”

“…Effects of P2-adrenoceptor agonists, terbutaline, salmeterol and formoterol, alone or in combination with sotalol, a P-receptor antagonist, on the secretion of LTB4, PGE2 or IL-1p in human monocyte cultures were investigated. Moreover, the effects of V-agonists were compared with the effects of a potent corticosteroid, budesonide (Dahlberg et al, 1983) and a potent 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor, BW A4C (Payne et al, 1988).…”

“…Sulphidopeptide leukotrienes are known to stimulate TXA2 synthesis in guinea-pig lung and it has recently been shown that VIP inhibits leukotriene synthesis and release from guinea-pig lung (Beaubien et al, 1984;Samhoun et al, 1987;Di Marzo et al, 1989). Therefore, we have tested the effect of VIP infusion in the presence of the lipoxygenase inhibitor BWA4c at a dose that produces a nearly maximal inhibition of this enzyme in vitro (Payne et al, 1988;Higgs et al, 1988). Lipoxygenase inhibition did not modify the bronchodilator response nor the reduction in thromboxane release induced by VIP, suggesting that VIP directly affects TXA2 synthesis in guinea-pig lung.…”

“…Exogenous VIP was given as an infusion over 1 min through the pulmonary artery in control non-sensitized lungs or after pretreatment with the lipoxygenase inhibitor BWA4c (N-(3-phenoxycinnamyl)-acetohydroxamic acid; Payne et al, 1988). The latter compound was dissolved in the perfusion medium at a concentration 3.5 x 10-5 M and the lungs were perfused with this solution throughout the experiment.…”
