Ammonium bituminosulphonate (Ichthyol) inhibits 5-lipoxygenase activity in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils. The inhibition is dose-dependent and occurs at non-cytotoxic concentrations of the drug. This results in a decreased release of Leukotriene B4 from polymorphonuclear neutrophils. Furthermore, when applied to the ear skin of AB/Bln mice pretreated with croton oil, Ichthyol reduces the inflammatory reaction.

D007975 Leukotriene B4 The major metabolite in neutrophil polymorphonuclear leukocytes. It stimulates polymorphonuclear cell function (degranulation, formation of oxygen-centered free radicals, arachidonic acid release, and metabolism).

D003436 Croton Oil Viscous, nauseating oil obtained from the shrub Croton tiglium (Euphorbaceae). It is a vesicant and skin irritant used as pharmacologic standard for skin inflammation and allergy and causes skin cancer. It was formerly used as an emetic and cathartic with frequent mortality.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001094 Arachidonate 5-Lipoxygenase An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of arachidonic acid to yield 5-hydroperoxyarachidonate (5-HPETE) which is rapidly converted by a peroxidase to 5-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoate (5-HETE). The 5-hydroperoxides are preferentially formed in leukocytes. 5-Lipoxygenase,Arachidonic Acid 5-Lipoxygenase,LTA4 Synthase,Leukotriene A Synthase,Leukotriene A4 Synthase,Leukotriene A4 Synthetase,5 Lipoxygenase,5-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonate,5-Lipoxygenase, Arachidonic Acid,Arachidonate 5 Lipoxygenase,Arachidonic Acid 5 Lipoxygenase,Synthase, LTA4,Synthase, Leukotriene A,Synthase, Leukotriene A4,Synthetase, Leukotriene A4
D016718 Arachidonic Acid An unsaturated, essential fatty acid. It is found in animal and human fat as well as in the liver, brain, and glandular organs, and is a constituent of animal phosphatides. It is formed by the synthesis from dietary linoleic acid and is a precursor in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes.
