Immunopharmacology Comments
The arachadonic acid-derived inflammtory mediators leukotrienes, prostaglandins, and thromboxanes play important roles in inflammatory and allergic diseases, so the search for inhibitors of their production is a long-standing medicinal chemistry goal [8]. The most well known drug family in this field are the cyclooxygenase (COX) Inhibitors (or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs; NSAIDs) which reduce prostaglandin synthesis, and are widely used for their antiinflammatory action. The clinically approved 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitor zileuton blocks formation of leukotrienes. The thromboxane A2 synthetase function of CYP5A1 is another valid molecular target in this search for novel antiinflammatory drugs. The discovery of inhibitors of thromboxane synthesis may help address those conditions that do not respond to inhibitors of the prostanoid and leukotriene pathways.
