Singulair is a leukotriene (loo-koe-TRY-een) inhibitor which used for the treatment of asthma, the prevention of exercise-induced asthma, and allergic rhinitis This situation has, together with better management of many of the major infectious hay fever, fur allergies, different types of asthma, food allergies and dermatitis. physiologically acting lipid mediators, i.e. prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

A nuclear membrane protein, 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP), is required before 5-lipoxygenase can synthesise 5-HPETE from arachidonic acid. Compounds are now available that block the biosynthesis of the leukotrienes through specific inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase e.g. zileuton (approved for asthma treatment in the U.S.A.). Leukotrienes in asthma. Leukotrienes contribute to the pathophysiology of asthma, especially in patients with respiratory disease exacerbated with aspirin (AERD), and cause or potentiate the following symptoms: Obstruction of air flow.

11-14 Treatment with oral montelukast, zafirlukast, or zileuton significantly improves many clinical outcome measures, including night time awakenings, daytime symptom scores, and use of β 2 agonists. 11-13 The size of these effects is similar to that seen in patients treated with 400-500 μg of inhaled beclomethasone daily. Studies using compounds that block leukotrienes (receptor antagonists - montelukast and zafirlukast and 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors - zileuton) have demonstrated improved asthma control in patients aged 12 years and older. 2 dagar sedan · While inhaled corticosteroids are undoubtedly effective there remain patients who, despite treatment, have incompletely controlled asthma and require additional therapy and a number of studies have investigated the effect of leukotriene antagonists in patients taking low- and high-dose steroids. teinyl leukotrienes, established mediators of in-flammation (and the target of drugs for the treatment of asthma), may be modulated by en-dogenously generated cysteinyl lipid mediators typified by the MCTR family, promoting the reso - lution of inflammation and attenuating hyper-reactivity and compromise of the mucosal barrier.
