Inflammation & Allergy Drug Targets

Abstract

Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) and lipoxin B4 (LXB4) were first identified in 1984 by Serhan and colleagues as 5- and 15-lipoxygenase interaction products of activated leukocytes. Endogenous transcellular biosynthesis of LXA4 and LXB4 occurs via interaction of leukocytes with epithelium, endothelium or platelets. Acetylation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) by aspirin can trigger 15-epi-LXA4 (ATL) biosynthesis. Elucidating the pharmacological actions of lipoxins and ATL was facilitated by total synthesis of LXA4 in 1988 by Nicolaou and colleagues. In 1994, Fiore and colleagues used [3H]-LXA4 to identify the cDNA for a human G-protein-coupled, high affinity LXA4 and ATL receptor (ALX-R/FPRL-1), providing the first hints for the molecular basis of lipoxin actions. The recognition that lipoxins and ATL undergo rapid, prostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH)-mediated metabolic inactivation led do the design and synthesis of first-generation PGDH-resistant LXA4, LXB4 and ATL analogs in 1995-1998 by Serhan, Petasis and colleagues. These relatively stable pharmacological agents, together with myeloid-specific ALX-R-expressing transgenic mice, have provided powerful tools to explore lipoxin functions in vivo. Here we briefly review the substantial body of evi...Continue Reading

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here
