Leukotriene Antagonists in Asthma

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2011
Aim Cysteinyl leukotrienes are important pro-inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of asthma, while leukotriene C 4 synthase is a key enzyme in their biosynthesis. Our aim is to evaluate whether responsiveness to leukotriene receptor antagonists was determined by expression of the variant (C) or wild-type (A) polymorphism of this enzyme.

Leukotriene-receptor antagonists

Lancet, The, 1999
Leukotriene-receptor antagonists are the first novel class of antiasthma drugs to become available over the past three decades. They have an unique profile in that they are a hybrid of an anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator drug, and they can be taken as a tablet once or twice daily.

LEUKOTRIENES, LEUKOTRIENE RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS AND LEUKOTRIENE SYNTHESIS INHIBITORS IN ASTHMA: AN UPDATE. PART II: CLINICAL STUDIES WITH LEUKOTRIENE RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS AND LEUKOTRIENE SYNTHESIS INHIBITORS IN ASTHMA

Pharmacological Research, 1999
The demonstration that leukotrienes, mainly cysteinyl leukotrienes, have biological properties relevant to the pathogenesis of asthma has stimulated the development of many therapeutic compounds to block these deleterious effects. Two main classes of leukotriene modulators have been developed: CysLT1 receptor antagonists and leukotriene synthesis ...

Leukotriene antagonists and the Churg-Strauss syndrome

Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, 2002
Leukotriene antagonists (LTAs), or antileukotrienes, are a new group of anti-inflammatory drugs used for the treatment of asthma. They might substitute for or allow tapering of corticosteroids in asthmatic patients. These drugs have been associated with the development of Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS), a rare form of vasculitic angiitis.

Leukotriene antagonists

Clinics in Liver Disease, 2003
Hepatotoxicity is the most common cause of fulminant hepatic failure in the United States and the main indication for market withdrawal of drugs. This condition has been increasingly recognized as a problem of enormous medical, financial legal, and regulatory importance.
