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.
Patients with COPD classically have neutrophilic bronchial inflammation and raised airway concentrations of the neutrophil chemoattractant leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)). A small phase II trial was conducted to assess the effects of a leukotriene synthesis inhibitor on bronchial inflammation in patients
Inhibition of 5-LO activating protein (FLAP) activity decreases proteinuria in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.

(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

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

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
