Quininib is a regulator of Ocular Angiogenesis. Quininib significantly inhibits angiogenic tubule formation in HMEC-1 cells, angiogenic sprouting in aortic ring explants and retinal revascularisation in OIR mice.
CP-199330 is a cysteyl LT1 receptor antagonist with no hepatotoxicity and is equivalent to the commercially available CYSLT1 receptor antagonists Zafirlukast and Pranlukas.
Dihydro montelukast is a potential impurity found in commercial montelukast preparations. Montelukast (sodium salt) is a potent and selective cysteinyl leukotriene 1 (CysLT1) receptor antagonist. Formulations containing montelukast are used for the treatment of asthma as well as for the symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis.
Produced by neutrophils, macrophages, mast cells, and by transcellular metabolism in platelets, leukotriene C4 (LTC4) is the parent cysteinyl leukotriene formed by the LTC4 synthase-catalyzed conjugation of glutathione to LTA4. It is one of the constituents of slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) and exhibits potent smooth muscle contracting activity. LTC4, however, is rapidly metabolized to LTD4 and LTE4, which makes the characterization of LTC4 pharmacology difficult. N-methyl Leukotriene C4 (N-methyl LTC4) is a synthetic analog of LTC4 that is not readily metabolized to LTD4 and LTE4.It acts as a potent and selective CysLT2 receptor agonist exhibiting EC50 values of 122 and > 2,000 nM at the human CysLT2 and CysLT1 receptors, respectively. It has essentially the same potency as LTC4 at both the human and murine receptors CysLT2 receptors. N-methyl LTC4 is potent and active in vivo, causing vascular leak in mice overexpressing the human CysLT2 receptor but not in CysLT2 receptor knockout mice.
