Description
HAMI3379 is a cysteinyl leukotriene 2 (CysLT
2) receptor antagonist (IC
50 = 37.9 nM in a radioligand binding assay).
1 It is selective for CysLT
2 over CysLT
1 (IC
50 = >30 μM in a radioligand binding assay). HAMI3379 inhibits calcium mobilization induced by leukotriene D
4 (LTD
4; ） or leukotriene C
4 (LTC
4; ） in CHO cells expressing human CysLT
2 (IC
50s = 3.8 and 4.4 nM, respectively). It reverses the LTC
4-induced increases in perfusion pressure and decreases in contractility in isolated Langendorff-perfused guinea pig hearts in a concentration-dependent manner. HAMI3379 (0.1 mg/kg) prevents decreases in body weight and neurological deficit scores in a rat model of
S. pneumoniae-induced meningitis, as well as reduces infarct volume in a rat model of cerebral ischemia brain injury induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).
2,3 It also prevents increases in airway hyperresponsiveness in a mouse model of ovalbumin-induced asthma when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg.
