Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase, also known as ALOX5, 5-lipoxygenase, 5-LOX, or 5-LO, is a non-heme iron-containing enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ALOX5 gene. 5-LO initiates the synthesis of leukotrienes (LTs) from arachidonic acid, primarily in certain leukocyte populations. CAY10606 is a potent, reversible inhibitor of 5-LO, both in cell-free assays (IC50 = 86 nM) and in intact neutrophils (IC50 = 230 nM). It prevents the production of LTs in whole blood, whether 5-LO is activated with the calcium ionophore A23187 with IC50 of 1.6 μM.
