BW B70C

BW B70C is a potent, selective and orally activearachidonic acid 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor. BW B70C inhibits both acute and allergic bronchoconstriction and late-phase eosinophil accumulation subsequent to allergen inhalation in guinea-pigs. BW B70C prevents leukotriene C4 synthesis and reduces leucocyte migration to the airways lumen as well as albumin microvascular leakage. BW B70C has the potential for the research of anti-asthma drug^[1][2][3]. In Vivo: BW B70C (30 mg/kg; i.p.) prevents leukotriene C4 synthesis by alveolar macrophages and reduces leucocyte migration to the airways lumen as well as albumin microvascular leakage but did not affect the endotoxin-induced increase in the blood level of TNF-alpha and of secreted phospholipase A2^[2].
