Description
Acebilustat (also known as CTX-4430) is a new once-daily oral anti-inflammatory drug in development for treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) and other diseases. It is an inhibitor of leukotriene A4 hydrolase, which is responsible for the production of leukotriene B4 (LTB4). The later is a molecule that leads to inflammation. Therefore, Acebilustat can treat inflammation through suppressing the production of leukotriene B4.
