CP-105696 is a structurally novel, selective and potent LTB4 receptor antagonist. In vitro, CP-105696 inhibits [H]LTB4 (0.3 nM) binding to high-affinity LTB4 receptors on human neutrophils with an lC50 value of 8.42±0.26 nM. Scatchard analyses of [H]LTB4 binding to these high-affinity receptors indicate that CP-105696 acts as a noncompetitive antagonist. CP-105696 inhibits human neutrophil chemotaxis mediated by LTB4 (5 nM) in a noncompetitive manner with an IC50 value of 5.0±2.0 nM. Scatchard analyses of [H]LTB4 binding to low-affinity receptors on neutrophils indicate that CP-105696 acts as a competitive antagonist at this receptor, and inhibition of LTB4-mediated CD11b upregulation on human neutrophils is competitively inhibited by CP-105696 (pA2=8.03±0.19). CP-105696 at 10 μM does not inhibit either human neutrophil chemotaxis or CD11b upregulation mediated through alternate (i.e., C5a, lL-8, PAF) G-protein coupled chemotactic factor receptors. In isolated human monocytes, LTB4 (5 nM)-mediated Ca mobilization is inhibited by CP-105696 with an lC50 value of 940±70 nM.
