| Abstract | 1. The effect of a single intratracheal dose (10 mg) of PF 5901 (2-[3(1-hydroxyhexyl) phenoxymethyl] quinoline hydrochloride, a specific inhibitor of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism and a leukotriene D4 antagonist) on airway changes induced in response to Alternaria tenuis aerosol challenge was assessed in adult rabbits neonatally immunized. Leukotriene generation was determined in vivo by measuring leukotriene B4 (LTB4) levels in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and ex vivo by measuring calcium ionophore-stimulated production of LTB4 in whole blood. 2. While PF 5901 (10 mg) had no significant effect on the acute bronchoconstriction induced by antigen, this dose was sufficient to inhibit significantly the increase in airway responsiveness to inhaled histamine 24 h following antigen challenge (P < 0.05). 3. Total leucocyte infiltration into the airways induced by antigen, as assessed by bronchoalveolar lavage, was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with PF 5901 (10 mg). However, the pulmonary infiltration of neutrophils and eosinophils induced by antigen was unaltered by prior treatment with PF 5901 (10 mg). 4. PF 5901 (10 mg) had no effect on ex vivo LTB4 synthesis in whole blood. However, the antigen-induced increase in LTB4 levels in BAL 24 h following challenge was significantly inhibited (P < 0.05). 5. We suggest from the results of the present study that the antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness to inhaled histamine in immunized rabbits is mediated, at least in part, by products of the 5-lipoxygenase metabolic pathway, and is not dependent on the extent of eosinophil or neutrophil influx into the airway lumen. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
