The leukotrienes constitute a new group of biologically active compounds derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids [l-5]. Leukotriene A4 (LT&), an unstable epoxide intermediate, is formed from arachidonic acid via 5-hydroperoxy-6, 8, 11, 14-eicosatetraenoic acid. It can be transformed enzymatically by hydrolysis into LTB4 and by addition of glutathione into LTCP (S (S)-hydroxy-6 (R) & glutathionyl-7, 9-tr~~-ll, l~ c~-eicosatetraenoic acid). LTCh is converted into the~~ es~ nding cysteinylgly~ ine derivative (LTD4) by r_gtutamyl~~ speptidase [6]. Slow Reacting Substance of Anaphylaxis (SRS-A) which is an important mediator in immediate hypersensitivity reactions has been shown to be due to LTC4 and LTD4 [5, 7]. Crude preparations of SRS-A have been found to stimulate release of thromboxane AZ (TXA2) from guinea pig lungs [8, 9]. Sensitized lungs release more TXAZ than normal lungs following stimulation by crude SRS-A [Q]. It was therefore of interest to study the effect of chemically pure LTC4 on the release of thromboxane from guinea pig lungs. The effect of an SRS-A antagonist (FPL55712) on the SRS-A stimulated release of thromboxane was also studied
