โฆ Synopsis
A new class of potential leukotriene analogues is synthesized which atttempts to restrict the conformationally mobile lipophilic chain. Biological evaluation shows weak agonist activity, giving key information on LTD4 geometry to the receptor.
The peptido-leukotrienes LTC4, LTD., and LTE, are potent contractile agents on airway smooth muscle and may contribute to the pathophysiology of asthma and other immediate hypersensitivity diseases 14. Thus, the discovery of selective leukotriene receptor antagonists may provide a new therapeutic approach to the treatment of allergic asthma. Numerous stereochemical and structural analogues of leukotrienes LTC4 and LTDd have been synthesized previously and evaluated for agonist-antagonist potency 5-7. Structure-activity studies on the natural agonists suggested that the hydrophobic region C-7/C-20 of the molecules was less critical for activity on
