Zileuton(Cat No.:A000793)is a potent inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), an enzyme critical in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes, which are inflammatory mediators involved in asthma and allergic reactions. By blocking leukotriene production, zileuton reduces airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and other asthma-related symptoms. It is used clinically to manage chronic asthma, offering a non-steroidal option for controlling inflammation. Zileuton’s ability to target the 5-LOX pathway makes it a key therapeutic agent in treating asthma and other inflammatory conditions where leukotrienes play a significant role.
