Recent evidence has suggested that both 5-hydroxy-6glutathionyl-eicosatetraenoic acid (leukotriene C) and its probable degradation product 5-hydroxy-6-cysteinylglycine eicosatetraenoic acid (leukotriene D) contribute to the biological activity hitherto referred to as slowreacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) (Orning et al 1980; Morris et a1 1980b). These compounds are believed to derive from 5-hydroperoxy-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE) produced from the oxygenation of arachidonic acid by a lipoxygenase enzyme (Samuelsson et a1 1979). The possibility of a pivotal role for lipoxygenase activity with regard to SRS-A production has received indirect support from experimental results using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In general, these drugs enhance SRS-A release (Walker 1973; Engineer et a1 1978), and i t has been suggested that this effect is related to inhibition of prostaglandin (PG) biosynthesis which in turn controls SRS-A production. More recent evidence, however, with drugs such as steroids and eicosatetraynoic acid which inhibit both PG biosynthesis and SRS-A production, has suggested that the enhancement observed with NSAIDs may be due to diversion of arachidonate down a lipoxygenase mediated pathway (Burka & Flower 1979; Hitchcock 1978; Morris et al 1980a). Benoxaprofen, a new anti-inflammatory agent, has recently been reported to inhibit the production of hydroxy-acid derivatives of arachidonic acid by rabbit PMN lipoxygenase enzymes (Walker & Dawson 1979), whilst possessing relatively low PG cyclo-oxygenase inhibitory activity (Cashin et al 1977). This communication compares the effect of benoxaprofen with those of BW755c, another lipoxygenase inhibitor (Higgs et a1 1979), and with two potent P G cyclooxygenase inhibitors, indomethacin and piroxicam (Carty et al 1980) on the formation of both lipoxygenase products and SRS-A. The effect of nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) a free radical scavenger and known lipoxygenase inhibitor (Hamberg 1976) was also assessed. Inhibition of lipoxygenase activity was demonstrated using intact elicited rabbit peritoneal polymorpho-
