5-lipoxygenase: underappreciated role of a pro-inflammatory enzyme in tumourigenesis

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2010
Leukotrienes (LTs) constitute a group of bioactive lipids generated by the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathway. An increasing body of evidence supports an acute role for 5-LO products already during the earliest stages of pancreatic, prostate and colorectal ...

Navigating adverse immunostimulation: A practical guide for clinical researchers

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Problem Setting As drug development moves towards more complex products, early clinical development programmes are increasingly hampered by unwanted and/or unexpected activation of the immune system (adverse immune stimulation, AIS). Solution At the Centre for Human Drug Research, we have introduced standardized procedures to make AIS manageable, while

COX-2-dependent and -independent biosynthesis of dihydroxy-arachidonic acids in activated human leukocytes

Journal of Lipid Research, 2012
Biosynthesis of 5,15-dihydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5,15-diHETE) in leukocytes involves consecutive oxygenation of arachidonic acid by 5-lipoxygenase (LOX) and 15-LOX in either order.

Risk of injury associated with the sedative potential of second‐generation antihistamines: A nationwide retrospective cohort study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Individual second‐generation antihistamines may possess differential sedative potential due to the variability in central histamine receptor H1 occupancy. This study aimed to evaluate whether the sedative potential of second‐generation antihistamines is associated with the risk of injury during Japan's pollen season. Methods We conducted a
