Tebufelone potently inhibits the formation of prostaglandins (PGE2) and blocks the formation of lipoxygenase pathway products [leukotriene (LTB4) ] in rat macrophages (IC50 = 20 microM) and human whole blood (IC50 = 22 microM) in vitro. = 20 microM) and human whole blood (IC50 = 22 microM) from the formation of lipoxygenase pathway products [leukotriene (LTB4) ] in vitro.
