ChEBI: 2,2-Diethylsuccinanilic acid substituted at a meta- position by an (E)-2-(4-cyclobutyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)ethenyl group. It selectively antagonizes leukotriene D4 at the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor, in th
human airway, preventing airway edema, smooth muscle contraction, and enhanced secretion of thick, viscous mucus. It is used in the treatment of asthma.
Potent, selective CysLT 1 (LTD 4 ) leukotriene receptor antagonist (IC 50 = 6.4 nM). Inhibits LTD 4 -induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs when administered intravenously, orally or by aerosol.
