Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Zafirlukast is a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist. Zafirlukast has high affinity for the leukotriene D4 (LTD4) receptor in a competitive manner. Zafirlukast is effective in both the prophylaxis and the chronic treatment of allergic and exercise-induced asthma and can reduce the constriction of the human airway and the pulmonary vascular smooth muscle. Zafirlukast inhibits the hydroxylation of tolbutamide (CYP2C9), triazolam (CYP3A) and S-mephenytoin (CYP2C19) with IC50 of 7.0, 20.9 and 32.7µM, respectively. Besides, zafirlukast is a less potent inhibitor of phenacetin O-deethylation (CYP1A2) and dextromethorphan O-demethylation (CYP2D6) with IC50 of 56 and 116µM, respectively.[1] Zafirlukast inhibits the elimination of pioglitazone in human liver microsomes (HLM) with an IC50 of 1.0µM.[2] In vivo, a total of five glutathione (GSH) conjugates are detected in the bile of rats dosed with zafirlukast at 5 mg/kg iv or 20 mg/kg po. The enzyme inhibitory property of zafirlukast is selective, and the inactivation is characterized by a Kι of 13.4µM and Kinact of 0.026 min-1.[3]

Protocols

Zafirlukast is dissolved in DMSO.[3]
