Disease relevance of Tomelukast

 

High impact information on Tomelukast

  • In the presence of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), the PPAR(alpha) agonists WY14643 and LY171883 as well as the lipid-lowering compound clofibrate potentiated expression, secretion, and activity of group IIA sPLA(2) in mesangial cells [6].
  • Several LTD4 receptor antagonists (ICI-198615, WY-48252, WY-49511, FPL-55712, and LY-171883) displaced [3H]ICI-198615 specific binding, with a rank order of potency equivalent to that described in the guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle contraction system [7].
  • This study clearly demonstrates that LY-171883 stimulates the activity of BK(Ca) channels in a manner unlikely to be linked to its blockade of leukotriene receptors or stimulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors [3].
  • The LY-171883-stimulated activity of BK(Ca) channels is dependent on membrane potential, and results mainly from an increase in mean open time and a decrease in mean closed time [3].
  • Under the current-clamp condition, LY-171883 (30 microM) caused membrane hyperpolarization as well as decreased the firing rate of action potentials in GH(3) cells [3].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Tomelukast

 

Biological context of Tomelukast

  • Reversal of significantly increased coronary vascular resistance coupled with improved functional recovery in hearts treated with LY171883 demonstrates an important contribution of endogenously produced leukotrienes to coronary vascular impairment and functional stunning of the globally ischaemic, reperfused heart [12].
  • RESULTS: There was no significant difference at any time point in the experimental protocol between mean arterial blood pressure or pressure-rate index in cats given LY-171883 (3 mg.kg-1) and cats given vehicle [13].
  • Dose-related antagonism of leukotriene D4-induced bronchoconstriction by p.o. administration of LY-171883 in nonasthmatic subjects [14].
  • The data indicate that 0.3% LY171883 sufficiently increased mitochondrial and peroxisomal beta-oxidation such that fatty acids generated by lipogenesis were preferentially oxidized rather than esterified to triglycerides [15].
  • The effect of LY171883 on lipid metabolism was studied further in rats maintained on a fat-free diet [15].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Tomelukast

  • The peptide leukotriene receptor antagonist, LY-171883, was given intravenously only during the reperfusion period (3 mg.kg-1 bolus; 3 mg.kg-1 x h-1 infusion) [13].
  • The mutation frequency and spectrum of the 61st codon of H-ras was determined for 64 independent, archived lesions from the LY171883 2 year oncogenicity study using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), allele specific oligo hybridization (ASO) and DNA sequencing [2].
  • Fatty acid synthetase activity increased comparably in all treatment groups, indicating that 0.3% LY171883 did not prevent the lipogenic response to a fat-free diet [15].
  • We have investigated the inhibitory activity of the p.o. LTD4 antagonist LY-171883 (1-[2-hydroxy-3-propyl]-4-[4-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)butoxy]phenyl]et hanone) on LTD4-induced bronchoconstriction in nonasthmatic subjects, in a double-blind, placebo controlled, randomized, cross-over study [14].
  • LY171883 (4 mg/kg/h) and DEC (40 mg/kg/h) were administered via the aural vein from 30 min before the tourniquet and during the experiment in each tourniquet group [9].
