Abstract

Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and 12(R)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid [12(R)-HETE] are proinflammatory products of arachidonic acid metabolism that have been implicated as mediators in a number of inflammatory diseases. When injected intradermally into the guinea pig. LTB4 and 12(R)-HETE elicit a dose-dependent migration (chemotaxis) of neutrophils (PMNs) into the injection sites as assessed by the presence of a neutrophil marker enzyme myeloperoxidase. SC-41930 (7-[3-(4-acetyl-3-methoxy-2-propylphenoxy)propoxyl]-3,4-dihy dro-8-propyl-2H - 1-benzopyran-2-carboxylic acid), a first-generation LTB4 receptor antagonist, inhibited the chemotactic actions of LTB4 when given orally with an ED50 value of 1.7 mg/kg. The second-generation LTB4 receptor antagonist, SC-53228 [(+)-(S)-7-(3-(2-(cyclopropylmethyl)-3-methoxy-4- [(methylamino)carbonyl]phenoxy)propoxy)-3,4-dihydro-8-propyl-2H-1- benzopyran-2-propanoic acid], inhibited LTB4-induced chemotaxis when given intragastrically with an ED50 value of 0.07 mg/kg. Furthermore, SC-53228 inhibited 12(R)-HETE-induced granulocyte chemotaxis with an oral ED50 value of 5.8 mg/kg. When dosed orally over a range of 0.03-100 mg/kg, SC-53228 gave Cmax plasma concentrations of 0.015-41.1 micrograms/ml. SC-53228 inhibited LTB4-primed membrane depolarization of human neutrophils with an IC50 value of 34 nM. As a potent LTB4 receptor antagonist, SC-53228 may well have application in the medical management of disease states such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, contact dermatitis, and psoriasis, in which LTB4 and/or 12(R)-HETE are implicated as inflammatory mediators.
