Uses
AM103 (free acid) is a selective FLAP inhibitor that can block the first step of the LT pathway, which is 5-LO activation. AM103 (free acid) can inhibit the production of LTB4 and cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLT). AM103 (free acid) has anti-inflammatory activity in a mouse model of chronic lung inflammation and can extend the survival time of mice injected with platelet-activating factor. AM103 (free acid) can be used for research on respiratory diseases such as asthma[1].
