Bay-X-1005 is a potent inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP).
Bay-X-1005 is a potent inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP). Bay-X-1005 inhibits A23187-induced LTB4 production in human leucocytes with an IC50 value of 220 nM, and blocks IgE mediated airway contractions.

Leukotrienes have been identified in various pathophysiologies. The leukotrienes LTB4 and LTC4 are assigned to inflammation. 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors which inhibit the synthesis of LTA4 being the precursor of both LTB4 and LTC4 appear to have only a limited antiinflammatory potential.

(1) Unlike other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that inhibit formation of cyclooxygenase (COX)-dependent eicosanoids, acetylation of COX-2 by aspirin switches eicosanoid biosynthesis from prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) to 15-epi-lipoxin A(4) (15-epi-LXA(4) or aspirin-triggered lipoxin, ATL). ATL formation by activated leukocytes (PMN) requires

Increased secretion of mucus is a hallmark of many respiratory diseases and contributes significantly to the airflow limitation experienced by many patients. While the current pharmacological approach to reducing mucus and sputum production in patients is limited, clinical studies have

The existence of an increased number of Kupffer cells is recognized as critical in the initiation of the inflammatory cascade leading to liver fibrosis. Because 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) is a key regulator of cell growth and survival, in the current investigation
Myeloid-related protein (MRP) 14, an intracellular protein involved in calcium-dependent activation of myeloid cells, presents a differentiation marker for a subtype of macrophages. In experimental leishmaniasis, BALB/c mice succumb to visceral dissemination after infection with L. major, due to a
