Zileuton is a 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitor that blocks the enzyme responsible for converting arachidonic acid to 5-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE) and subsequently to leukotrienes, potent inflammatory mediators that cause bronchoconstriction, mucus secretion, and inflammatory cell recruitment in asthma. It is approved for the prophylaxis and chronic treatment of asthma, reducing leukotriene-mediated airway inflammation and bronchoconstriction. Its direct enzyme inhibition of leukotriene synthesis distinguishes it from leukotriene receptor antagonists like montelukast.
