FLAP inhibitor. Inhibitor of PPARα activation. Inhibits 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) and leukotriene biosynthesis. Binds to FLAP with high affinity and prevents the activation of 5-lipoxygenase. IC50’s for leukotriene biosynthesis: 2.5 nM in intact leukocytes; 1.1 µM in whole blood. Induces apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway. Alternative Name: L-663,536. 3-[1-(p-Chlorobenzyl)-5-(isopropyl)-3-t-butylthioindol-2-yl]-2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid, Na.
