Bioactivity

Quiflapon (MK-591) is a selective and specific 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.6 nM in a FLAP binding assay. Quiflapon is also a potent and orally active Leukotriene biosynthesis (LT) inhibitor, shows IC50 values of 3.1 and 6.1 nM in intact human and elicited rat PMNLs, respectively. Quiflapon induces cell apoptosis[1][2].

Invitro

Quiflapon is a potent inhibitor of leukotriene (LT) biosynthesis in intact human and elicited rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs) (IC50 values 3.1 and 6.1 nM, respectively) and in human, squirrel monkey, and rat whole blood (IC50 values 510, 69, and 9 nM, respectively). Quiflapon has no effect on rat 5-lipoxygenase. Quiflapon has a high affinity for 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) as evidenced by an IC50 value of 1.6 nM in a FLAP binding assay and inhibition of the photoaffinity labelling of FLAP by two different photoaffinity ligands. Inhibition of activation of 5-lipoxygenase was shown through inhibition of the translocation of the enzyme from the cytosol to the membrane in human PMNLs[1].
