Abstract
Antagonistic activity against leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and other pharmacological activities of SM-9064 were studied in vitro and in vivo. It inhibited the chemotaxis of rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs) induced by LTB4 (IC50 = 1.3 X 10(-7) M, not by other chemoattractants. Its agonistic activity was much less than that of LTB4. It suppressed the Arthus reaction-induced inflammation in mice with the dose of 5 mg/kg, i.p. or 10 mg/kg, p.o. These results suggest that SM-9064 is a candidate of LTB4 antagonists, which is effective in some type of inflammation.Entities:
