Veliflapon is an orally active and selective inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP). Veliflapon inhibits the synthesis of the leukotrienes B4 and C4.
Leukotriene B4 (LTB4)-3-aminopropylamide is an analog of LTB4 that exhibits potent and selective binding to the BLT1 receptor with Ki values of 5.1 nM at BLT1 and 1,227 nM at BLT2, indicating its high affinity for BLT1 over BLT2. This compound's effects are mediated through interactions with two receptors, BLT1 and BLT2.
