Bioactivity | Pranlukast is a highly potent, selective and competitive antagonist of peptide leukotrienes. Pranlukast inhibits [3H]LTE4, [3H]LTD4, and [3H]LTC4 bindings to lung membranes with Kis of 0.63±0.11, 0.99±0.19, and 5640±680 nM, respectively. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | In the radioligand binding assay, Pranlukast (ONO-1078) inhibits [3H]LTE4, [3H]LTD4, and [3H]LTC4 bindings to lung membranes with Kis of 0.63±0.11, 0.99±0.19, and 5640±680 nM, respectively. The antagonism of Pranlukast against [3H]LTD4 binding is competitive. In functional experiments, Pranlukast shows competitive antagonism against the LTC4- and LTD4-induced contractions of guinea pig trachea and lung parenchymal strips with a pA2 range of 7.70 to 10.71. In the presence of an inhibitor of the bioconversion of LTC4 to LTD4, Pranlukast also antagonizes the LTC4-induced contraction of guinea pig trachea (pA2=7.78). Pranlukast significantly reverses the LTD4-induced prolonged contraction without effect on the KCl- and BaCl2-induced contractions of guinea pig trachea[1]. Oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced nuclear translocation of CysLT1 receptors is inhibited by pretreatment with the CysLT1 receptor antagonist Pranlukast (10 μM). Pranlukast protects endothelial cells against ischemia-like injury. The effects of the CysLT1 receptor antagonist Pranlukast and the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor Zileuton on translocation are also assessed. The results show that Pranlukast, but not Zileuton, inhibits the translocation of the CysLT1 receptor 6 h after OGD[2]. | ||||||||||||
