Disease relevance of Bwa 4C

 

High impact information on Bwa 4C

  • Mast cell- and lymphocyte-induced eosinophil survival were completely reversed by SB 201146, SKF 104353, BW A4C, and MK 886 [5].
  • Furthermore, the release-enhancing effect of McNeil A 343 (10 microM) on noradrenaline release was also not altered by the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor, BW A4C [6].
  • For comparison, the effects of a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor, BW A4C (1 x 10(-9)-10(-5) M), and a corticosteroid, budesonide (1 x 10(-10)-10(-5) M) were also examined [7].
  • Likewise, when BW A4C was administered to guinea pigs intravenously (3 mg/kg), we observed a rapid and marked (approximately 90%) reduction in whole blood LTB4 production which returned to control (pre-drug values) by 5 hr [8].
  • Indomethacin (3 microM) and the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor, BW A4C (1 microM) were without effect on basal or evoked [3H]NE release, suggesting that endogenously formed arachidonic acid metabolites have no significant modulatory role in this in vitro system [9].
 

Biological context of Bwa 4C

 

Anatomical context of Bwa 4C

  • 7. The accumulation of leucocytes in sponge exudates was reduced dose-dependently by BW A4C (ED50 = 54 mg kg-1) and BW A797C (ED50 = 16.7 mg kg-1) [1].
  • The effects of BW A4C, a selective arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) inhibitor, on the progression of myocardial tissue injury were examined in anaesthetised, open-chest beagle dogs subjected to 90-min occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) followed by 120-min reperfusion [12].

Gene context of Bwa 4C

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Bwa 4C

  • Selective 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor BW A4C does not influence progression of tissue injury in a canine model of regional myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion [12].
