L-656,224 (7-chloro-2-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-3-methyl-5-propyl-4-benzofuranol) was a potent inhibitor of leukotriene biosynthesis in intact rat and human leukocytes and CXBG mastocytoma cells (IC50 values, 18-240 nM) and of crude human leukocyte and highly purified porcine leukocyte 5-lipoxygenase (IC50 value, 4 X 10(-7) M). The selectivity of L-656,224 for 5-lipoxygenase was shown through the relative lack of activity of the compound on 12-lipoxygenase, 15-lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase, catalase, and myeloperoxidase. The compound showed (i) oral activity against hyperalgesia induced in the rat paw by injection of yeast or platelet-activating factor, (ii) dyspnea in sensitized inbred rats induced by an aerosol of antigen, and (iii) bronchoconstriction induced by an aerosol of Ascaris in squirrel monkeys, suggesting a role for 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors in the treatment of asthma and peripheral pain.
