SKF 104353 (2(S)-hydroxyl-3(R)-carboxyethylthio)-3-[2-(8-phenyloctyl) phenyl] propanoic acid) is a synthetic structural analog of leukotrienes D4 and E4 (LTD4, LTE4). This compound binds to guinea pig and human lung LTD4 receptors with affinities (Ki) of 5 +/- 2 and 10 +/- 3 nM, respectively. The Ki values of a reference compound, FPL 55712, were 2200 and 4500 nM, respectively, approximately 400- and 500-fold less effective than SKF 104353. LTD4- and LTE4-induced biosynthesis of thromboxane B2 has been shown to be mediated by LTD4 receptors in guinea pig lung in vitro. SKF 104353 did not induce synthesis of TxB2 in this system at concentrations of 1-20 microM. When SKF 104353 and increasing concentrations of LTD4 were incubated with guinea pig lung, the dose response curve of LTD4-induced TxB2 biosynthesis was shifted to the right with a -log[KB] = 8.4 +/- 0.2. LTD4-induced phosphatidylinositol (PI) hydrolysis in guinea pig lung has been shown to be the major signal transduction mechanism. In this system, SKF 104353 (1-20 microM) did not promote PI hydrolysis. Pretreatment of the [3H]myo-inositol-labeled guinea pig lung with SKF 104353 shifted the LTD4-induced PI hydrolysis dose response curve to the right, indicating that SKF 104353 inhibited LTD4 receptor-mediated intracellular second messenger formation. These results demonstrate that SKF 104353 is a high affinity, specific LTD4 receptor antagonist. It inhibited LTD4-induced PI hydrolysis and TxB2 biosynthesis in guinea pig lung. SKF 104353 may prove to be an important research tool for research on the activities of leukotrienes and of value therapeutically in the treatment of leukotriene-mediated diseases.
