Application
Zafirlukast has been used to stimulate pancreatic β cell line (MIN6) and pancreatic islets for insulin secretion assay. It may be used as an adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter (ABCG2) inhibitor in MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] cytotoxicity assay in human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293) and in Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion assays, bactericidal activity and minimal inhibitory concentration (mIC) assay against M. smegmatis
Biochem/physiol Actions
Zafirlukast is a potent subtype specific CysLT1 receptor antagonist; antiasthmatic.
Zafirlukast is a potent subtype specific cysteinyl leukotriene type 1 receptor (CysLT1) antagonist; antiasthmatic. Zafirlukast has over 1000-fold selectivity for CysLT1, one of two receptors for cysteinyl leukotrienes LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4, which are important mediators of human bronchial asthma.
Zafirlukast plays a key role in alleviating mucus and airway constriction in asthma based inflammatory response. It regulates pancreatic β cells for the secretion of insulin and this functionality is interlinked to the calcium based phosphorylation of the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and protein kinase B (AKT). Zafirlukast has inhibitory potential on ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and reverses the multidrug resistance function of ATP-binding cassette super-family G member 2 (ABCG2). Zafirlukast inhibits mycobacterial nucleoid-associated protein Lsr2 and halts the growth of Mycobacteria.

Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of inflammatory and cardiovascular disorders. Their actions are mediated by CysLT(1) and CysLT(2) receptors. Here we report the discovery of 3-({[(1S,3S)-3-carboxycyclohexyl]amino}carbonyl)-4-(3-{4-[4-(cyclo-hexyloxy)butoxy]phenyl}propoxy) benzoic acid (HAMI3379), the first potent and selective CysLT(2) receptor
