Abstract
Ammonium bituminosulphonate (Ichthyol) inhibits 5-lipoxygenase activity in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils. The inhibition is dose-dependent and occurs at non-cytotoxic concentrations of the drug. This results in a decreased release of Leukotriene B4 from polymorphonuclear neutrophils. Furthermore, when applied to the ear skin of AB/Bln mice pretreated with croton oil, Ichthyol reduces the inflammatory reaction.Entities:
