Suspensions of rat peritoneal PMNL [polymorphonuclear leukocyte] elicited with glycogen were stimulated by Ca and an ionophore to produce leukotrienes from endogenous arachidonic acid. The effect of the non-toxic, anti-inflammatory seleno-organic compound, ebselen (PZ 51) was investigated. When ethanolic extracts of the medium of stimulated cells were analyzed by HPLC [high performance liquid chromatography] a dose-dependent inhibition by ebselen of LTB4 [leukotriene B4] formation with a concomitant decrease of 5-HETE [5-hydroxy-eicosa-tetraenoic acid] production was found. Half-maximum inhibition was observed at 20 .mu.moles/1 ebselen. Similar findings were obtained after analysis of chloroform extracts of both cells and medium using a different HPLC system. Under these conditions, enhanced 5-HETE formation was associated with reduced production of LTB4 and other di-HETE [dihydroxy-eicosa-tetraenoic acid] isomers, when purified glutathione peroxidase + GSH were present. The reported GSH peroxidase-like activity of ebselen, catalyzing the reduction of 5-HPETE [5-hydroperoxy-eicosa-tetraenoic acid] to 5-HETE, can not account for the findings. The lipoxygenase reaction itself apparently represents the site of inhibition of LTB4 formation by ebselen.
