Anti-leukotrienes as novel anti-inflammatory treatments in asthma

Jeffrey M Drazen. Adv Exp Med Biol. 2002.

Abstract

The anti-leukotrienes are effective asthma treatments. This observation demonstrates, by inference, that leukotrienes are important in the biology of asthma. The clinical data also indicate, however, that the leukotrienes are not the sole mediator of asthmatic responses as patients with asthma are totally free of airway obstruction or asthma symptoms when they are treated with these agents.
