Zileuton

Synonyms: A-64077

Zileuton is an orally active inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase, and thus inhibits leukotrienes (LTB4, LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4) formation, used to decrease the symptoms of asthma. Zileuton induces apoptosis while inhibits ferroptosis.

Biological Activity

Description Zileuton is an orally active inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase, and thus inhibits leukotrienes (LTB4, LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4) formation, used to decrease the symptoms of asthma. Zileuton induces apoptosis while inhibits ferroptosis.
Targets
Ferroptosis [6] 5-lipoxygenase [1]
In vitro
In vitro

Zileuton suppresses PG biosynthesis by interference with arachidonic acid (AA) release in macrophages. Zileuton significantly reduces PGE2 and 6-keto prostaglandin F1α (PGF1α) levels in activated mouse peritoneal macrophages and in J774 macrophages. Zileuton inhibits PGE2 production in LPS-stimulated human whole blood and suppresses PGE2 and 6-keto PGF1α pleural levels in rat carrageenan-induced pleurisy. [1]

In Vivo
In vivo

Zileuton significantly reduces macroscopic damage score after four weeks of treatment in rats. Zileuton administration significantly increases the intracolonic release of both thromboxane B2 at week 1 and prostaglandin E2 at weeks 2 and 4 in rats. [2] Zileuton reduces the spinal cord inflammation and tissue injury, neutrophil infiltration, TNF-alpha, COX-2 and pERK1/2 expression, PGE(2) and LTB(4) production, and apoptosis in mice. Zileuton significantly improves the recovery of limb function over 10 days in mice.[3]

 

Zileuton administrated before I/R significantly reduces the degree of renal dysfunction (urea, creatinine) and injury (AST, histology) in 5-lipoxygenase knockout mice. Zileuton reduces the expression of ICAM-1 and the associated PMN infiltration caused by I/R of the mouse kidney in 5-lipoxygenase knockout mice. [4]

 

Zileuton inhibits LTB(4) production in the peritonitis model more effectively than the LTA(4)H inhibitor, but the influx of neutrophils into the peritoneum after 1 and 2 hours is significantly higher in Zileuton- versus JNJ-26993135-treated mice. [5]

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
