Repositioning Candidate Details
Candidate ID: | R0203 |
Source ID: | DB00587 |
Source Type: | experimental |
Compound Type: | small molecule |
Compound Name: | Cinalukast |
Synonyms: | 3'-((E)-2-(4-cyclobutyl-2-thiazolyl)vinyl)-2,2-diethylsuccinanilic acid; Cinalukast |
Molecular Formula: | C23H28N2O3S |
SMILES: | CCC(CC)(CC(=O)NC1=CC(\C=C\C2=NC(=CS2)C2CCC2)=CC=C1)C(O)=O |
Structure: |
|
DrugBank Description: | Used in the treatment of asthma, cinalukast selectively antagonizes leukotriene D4 (LTD4) at the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor, CysLT1, in the human airway. Cinalukast inhibits the actions of LTD4 at the CysLT1 receptor, preventing airway edema, smooth muscle contraction, and enhanced secretion of thick, viscous mucus. |
CAS Number: | 128312-51-6 |
Molecular Weight: | 412.545 |
DrugBank Indication: | For Protection against second- phase inflamation in exercise-induced bronchoconstriction and Asthma. |
DrugBank Pharmacology: | Used in the treatment of asthma, cinalukast selectively antagonizes leukotriene D4 (LTD<sub>4</sub>) at the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor, CysLT1, in the human airway. Cinalukast inhibits the actions of LTD<sub>4</sub> at the CysLT1 receptor, preventing airway edema, smooth muscle contraction, and enhanced secretion of thick, viscous mucus. |
DrugBank MoA: | Binds to the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor. The cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTC4, LTD<sub>4</sub>, LTE4) are products of arachidonic acid metabolism and are released from various cells, including mast cells and eosinophils. These eicosanoids bind to cysteinyl leukotriene receptors (CysLT) found in the human airway. Cysteinyl leukotrienes and leukotriene receptor occupation have been correlated with the pathophysiology of asthma, including airway edema, smooth muscle contraction, and altered cellular activity associated with the inflammatory process, which contribute to the signs and symptoms of asthma. |
Targets: | Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 antagonist |
Inclusion Criteria: | Therapeutic strategy associated |
