Abstract

A series of eicosatetraenes (2-24) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated in vitro for inhibitory activity against 5-lipoxygenase (20000g supernatant from homogenized rat basophilic leukemia cells). All compounds were found to be active with the potencies (IC5; s) ranging from 0.19 to 97 wM. Compounds containing the hydroxamic acid functionality (10- 12) exhibited the best activity (IC6o= 0.19-2.8 wM). The most potent inhibitor was 5-[[(hy- ...
