Biological context of zafirlukast

  • BACKGROUND: Single doses of zafirlukast attenuate exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), but previous studies have not measured zafirlukast's effects after regular dosing or its duration of effect beyond 4 hours [16].
  • Compared with placebo, zafirlukast produced a significant improvement over baseline in the primary study endpoint of mean morning peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) (18.7 L/min versus 1.5 L/min, p < 0.001), as well as in evening PEFR (p < 0.01), FEV(1) (p < 0.05), daytime symptom score (p < 0.001), and beta(2)-agonist use (p < 0.001) [17].
  • On repeat LTE 4 inhalation challenge after 6 weeks, zafirlukast treatment prevented further airway eosinophilia and decrease in FEV 1 seen in the placebo group [10].
  • The combination of zafirlukast and loratadine reduced the AUC FEV1 during EAR and LAR further, by 75 +/- 8% and 74 +/- 14%, respectively (p < 0.05 versus control) [18].
  • By means of heterologous dissociation time courses, we demonstrated that zafirlukast, iralukast, and BAY u9773 selectively competed only for (3)H-LTD(4) binding sites, whereas pobilukast, pranlukast, and CGP 57698 dissociated both (3)H-LTC(4) and (3)H-LTD(4) from their binding sites [19].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of zafirlukast

  • Severe liver injury after treatment with the leukotriene receptor antagonist zafirlukast [3].
  • Eighteen normal male subjects were recruited for a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, two-period crossover study to determine the effects of a new, potent, highly selective, oral peptide leukotriene antagonist (ICI 204,219) on cutaneous vasculature [33].
  • In multicenter trials in patients with chronic, stable asthma, zafirlukast reduced asthma symptoms, decreased as-needed beta-agonist use, and improved pulmonary function without increasing the number of adverse events [5].
  • The effect of zafirlukast (Z) to alter the inflammatory response to segmental antigen challenge (SAC) was assessed by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in this double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-period, crossover trial in 11 allergic asthmatic patients [34].
  • The overall treatment failure rate was significantly lower in the zafirlukast group compared with the placebo group (P <.003) [35].
