Description

208/GL82 2 0 ~ 3 216 TITLE OF TFiE INVENTION
SATURATED HYDROXYALKYLQUINOLINE ACIDS AS LEUKOTRIENE
ANTAGONISTS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The leukotrienes constitute a group of locally acting hormones, produced in living systems from arachidonic acid. The major leukotrienes are Leukotriene B4 (LTB4), LTC4, LTD4 and LTE4. The biosynthesis of these leukotrienes begins with the action of the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase on arachidonic acid to produce the epo~ide known as Leukotriene A4 (LTA), which is converted to the other leukotrienes by subsequent enzymatic steps. Further details of 20~3~~6 the biosynthesis as well as the metabolism of the leukotrienes are to be found in Leukotrienes and Livoxv~enases, ed. J. Rokach, Elsevier, Amsterdam (1989). The actions of the leukotrienes in living systems and their contribution to various diseases states are also discussed in the book by Rokach.
The art describes certain quinoline-containing compounds as having activity as antagonists of the actions of the leukotrienes.
Thus, EP 318,093 (Merck) describes compounds of structure A. Structure B is disclosed in EP 315,399 (Rorer). Structure C is described in EP 348,155 (Rorer).

dysmenorrhea; ischemia; noxious agent-induced damage or necrosis of hepatic, pancreatic, renal, or myocardial tissue; liver parenchymal damage caused by hepatoxic agents such as CC14 and D-galactosamine;
ischemic renal failure; disease-induced hepatic damage; bile salt induced pancreatic or gastric damage; trauma- or stress-induced cell damage; and glycerol-induced renal failure. The compounds also exhibit cytoprotective action.
The cytoprotective activity of a compound may be observed in both animals and man by noting the increased resistance of the gastrointestinal mucosa to the noxious effects of strong irritants, for example, the ulcerogenic effects of aspirin or indomethacin. In addition to lessening the effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the gastrointestinal tract, animal studies show that cytoprotective compounds will prevent gastric lesions induced by oral administration of strong acids, strong bases, ethanol, hypertonic saline solutions and the like.

Two assays can be used to measure cytoprotective ability. These assays are; (A) an ethanol-induced lesion assay and (B) an indomethacin-induced ulcer assay and are described in EP 140,584.
Dose Ranges The magnitude of prophylactic or therapeutic dose of a compound of Formula I will, of course, vary l0 with the nature of the severity of the condition to be treated and with the particular compound of Formula I and its route of administration. It will also vary according to the age, weight and response of the individual patient. In general, the daily dose range for anti-asthmatic, anti-allergic or anti-inflammatory use and generally, uses other than cytoprotection, lie within the range of from about 0.001 mg to about 100 mg per kg body weight of a mammal, preferably 0.01 mg to about 10 mg per kg, and most preferably 0.1 to 1 mg per kg, in single or divided doses. On the other hand, it may be necessary to use dosages outside these limits in some cases.
For use where a composition f or intravenous administration is employed, a suitable dosage range for anti-asthmai;ic, anti-inflammatory or anti-allergic use is from about 0.001 mg to about 25 mg (preferably from 0.01 mg to about 1 mg) of a compound of Formula I per kg of body weight per day and for cytoprotective use from about 0.1 mg to about 100 mg (preferably from about 1 mg to about 100 mg and more preferably from about 1 mg to about 10 mg) of a compound of Formula I per kg of body weight per day.

20~32~6 In the case where an oral composition is employed, a suitable dosage range for anti-asthmatic, anti-inflammatory or anti-allergic use is, e.g. from about 0.01 mg to about 100 mg of a compound of Formula I per kg of body weight per day, preferably from about 0.1 mg to about 10 mg per kg and for cytoprotective use from 0.1 mg to about 100 mg (preferably from about 1 mg to about 100 mg and more preferably from about 10 mg to about 100 mg) of a to compound of Formula I per kg of body weight per day.
For the treatment of diseases of the eye, ophthalmic preparations for ocular administration comprising 0.001-1°/ by weight solutions or suspensions of the compounds of Formula I in an acceptable ophthalmic formulation may be used.
The exact amount of a compound of the Formula I to be used as a cytoprotective agent will depend on, in r alia, whether it is being administered to heal damaged cells or to avoid future damage, on the nature of the damaged cells (e. g., gastrointestinal ulcerations vs. nephrotic necrosis), and on the nature of the causative agent. An example of the use of a compound of the Formula I in avoiding future damage would be co-administration of a compound of the Formsla I with a non-steroidal anti-inflam-matory drug that might otherwise cause such damage (for example, indomethacin). For such use, the compound of Formula I is administered from 30 minutes prior up to 30 minutes after administration of the 3o NSAID. Preferably it is administered prior to or simultaneously with the NSAID, (for example, in a combination dosage form).

Pharmaceutical Compositions Any suitable route of administration may be employed for providing a mammal, especially a human with an effective dosage of a compound of the present S invention. For example, oral, rectal, topieal, parenteral, ocular, pulmonary, nasal, and the like may be employed. Dosage forms include tablets, troches, dispersions, suspensions,~solutions, capsules, creams, ointments, aerosols, and the like.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention comprise a compound of Formula I as an active ingredient or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and may also contain a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and optionally other therapeutic ingredients. The term ~~pharmaceutically acceptable salts~~ refers to salts prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic bases or acids including inorganic bases or acids and organic bases or acids.
The compositions include compositions suitable for oral, rectal, topical, parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous), ocular (ophthalmic), pulmonary (nasal or buccal inhalation), or nasal administration, although the most suitable route in any given case will.depend on the nature and severity of the conditions being treated and on the nature of the active ingredient. They may be conveniently presented in unit dosage farm and prepared by any of the methods well-known in the art of pharmacy.
For administration by inhalation, the compounds of the present invention are conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray 2~~3~16 presentation from pressurized packs or nebulisers.
The compounds may also be delivered as powders which may be formulated and the powder composition may be inhaled with the aid of an insufflation powder inhaler device. The preferred delivery system for inhalation is a metered dose inhalation (MDI) aerosol, which may be formulated as a suspension or solution of compound I in suitable propellants, such as fluorocarbons or hydrocarbons.
Suitable topical formulations of Compound I
include transdermal devices, aerosols, creams, ointments, lotions, dusting powders, and the like.
In practical use, the compounds of Formula I
can be combined as the active ingredient in intimate admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques.
The carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration, e.g., oral or parenteral (including intravenous). In preparing the compositions for oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media may be employed, such as, for example, Water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents and the like in the case of oral liquid preparations, such as, for example, suspensions, elixirs and solutions; or carriers such as starches, sugars, microcrystalline cellulose, dilvents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like in the case of oral solid preparations such as, f or example, powders, capsules and tablets, with the solid oral preparations being preferred over the liquid preparations. Because of their ease of administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit form in which case solid pharmaceutical carriers are obviously employed. If desired, tablets may be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques.
In addition to the common dosage forms set out above, the compounds of Formula I may also be administered by controlled release means and/or delivery devices such as those described in U.S.
Patent Nos. 3,845,770; 3,916,899; 3,536,809;

Pharmaceutical compositions of the present:
invention suitable for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient, as a powder or granules or as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid, a non-aqueous liquid, an oil-in-water emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. Such compositions may be prepared by any of the methods of pharmacy but all methods include the step of bringing into association the active ingredient with the carrier which constitutes one or more necessary ingredients. In general, the compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired presentation. For example, a tablet may be prepared by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed 2~~32~6 tablets may be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine, the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, surface active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine, a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. Desirably, each tablet contains from about 2.5 mg to about 500 mg of the active ingredient and each cachet or capsule contains from about 2.5 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient.

Methods of Svnthesis Compounds of the present invention can be prepared according to the following methods.
Temperatures are in degree Celsius.
Method A
Bromo acid II is treated with 2 equivalents of a base such as n-butyllithium in a suitable solvent such as THF at -100°C, then at -78°C to afford III, which is reacted with IV (see EP 206,751, Dec. 30, 1986; EP 318,093, May 31, 1989, and U.S. Pat. 4,851,409, July 25, 1989) to yield the hydroxyacid V. V is then esterified using conditions such as methanol/HC1, CH2N2 or MeI/K2C03 and an organometallic reagent is then added to give the diol VT. The benzylic alcohol of VI is then reacted with the thiol IX by: (1) making the chloride by reaction with methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine, and (2) substituting the chloride by the thiol IX in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride or cesium carbonate to afford VII. In the cases where Q1 is an ester, hydrolysis with a base such as NaOH, LiOH or K2C03 (followed by acidification) affords the acid VIII. VII and VIII
are both representatives of structure I.
Method B
The ketone IV is reduced to the benzylic alcohol using a reagent such as NaBH4. This benzylic alcohol is converted to the benzylic bromide, using conditions such as carbon tetrabromide/1,2-bis-(diphenylphosphino)ethane, and treatment With triphenylphosphine affords the phosphonium salt X.
Using a base such as potassium hexamethyldisilazide, the ylid of X is formed and is added to a lactol.
Oxidation of the benzylic alcohol so obtained using conditions such as (1) Mn02 in EtOAc and (2) Mn02/HCN/MeOH affords the ester XT. The thiol IX is then added to XI using a Lewis acid such as A1C13 or TiCl4 to give the thioether XII. Reaction of XII
with an organometallic compound such as a lithium or a magnesium salt, yield, in the cases where Ql is stable in these conditions, the tertiary alcohol XIII, which is a representative of structure I.
Method C
The ester XXVII, obtained by Method E, is hydrolyzed with a base such as NaOH to give XIV. XIV
is reacted with another organometallic and the reaction mixture is quenched with chlorotrimethyl-silane to yield the hydroxyketone XV. The benzylic alcohol is then reacted with methanesulf onyl chloride in the presence of a base such as triethylamine. The mesylate so obtained is substituted by the thiolate derivative of IX to afford XVI. Finally, an organometallic reaction or a reduction using a reagent such as NaBH4 on XVI gives the alcohol XVIII. Using this method, two different R groups can be added to give a secondary or an unsymmetrical tertiary alcohol.
Method D
The hydroxyacid XVII (included within the definition of XIV) is cyclized to the lactone XXI
using a reagent such as 2-chloro-N-methylpyridinium iodide. An organometallic reagent is then added to XXI to give the diol XXII. Finally, the secondary alcohol is substituted by the thiol IX as in Method C
to yield the thioether XX.

Method E
The aldehyde XXIII, a derivative of IV, is reacted with an organometallic reagent and the benzylic alcohol so obtained is oxidized to XXIV with an oxidant like activated manganese dioxide. XXIV is then reacted with the iodide XXV in the presence of a base such as lithium diisopropylamide to yield the alkylation product XXVI. Reduction with sodium borohydride or addition of an organometallic reagent afford the hydroxyester XXVII, which is then treated as the lactone XXI in Method D to give the thioether XXVIII.
Method F
The enolate of the ketone XXIX, obtained by treatment of XXIX with a base such as KH or NaH, is reacted with dimethylcarbonate to yield the ketoester XXX. XXX is enolized with a base such as NaH and treated with the iodide XXXI, the methyl ester of XXV. The adduct so obtained is then decarboxylated using conditions such as heating with HC1 in acetic acid to afford a mixture of the ester XXXII and the corresponding acid. Esterification of the mixture, using a reagent such as diazomethane or methyl iodide and K2C03, yields XXXII, which is then converted to XXXIII or its epimer, as described in Method G.
Method G
The hydroxy acid XVII is esterified using conditions such as heating with MeI and K2COg or reacting with diazomethane. Treatment of this hydroxyester with an oxidant such as activated manganese dioxide affords the ketoester XXXIV. The ketone is then reduced using the chiral oxazaboro-20~321~

lidine XXXV in the presence of borane/THF complex.
Reaction of the ester with an organometallic gives the diol XXXVI, which is chiral XXII. Protection of the secondary alcohol with tert-butylchlorodiphenyl-silane in the presence of a base such as 4-(dimethyl-amino)pyridine, protection of the tertiary alcohol as the 2-tetrahydropyranyl ether and removal of the silyl ether afford XXXVII. The chiral center of XXXVII can be inverted to give XXXVIII using 1o conditions such as: (1) treatment with triphenyl-phosphine, diethyl azodicarboxylate and an acid such as R-(-)a-methoxyphenylacetic acid (chiral acid improves the resolution), and (2) hydrolysis of the ester so obtained with a base such as NaOH.
Formation of the mesylate and substitution with the th.iol IX as in Method C, followed by hydrolysis of the 2-tetrahydropyranyl ether using conditions such as pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate in methanol afford the thioethers XXXIXa and XXXIXb.
Method H
The phenylacetic acid XL is reduced to the alcohol XLI using a reagent such as borane in tetrahydrofuran. Formation of the alcoholate with one equivalent of a Grignard reagent, followed by treatment with magnesium afford the dimagnesium salt of XLI. It is added to a ketone or an aldehyde to yield the alcohol XLII. The bromide XLIII is then formed using conditions such as (1) formation of the 3o mesylate with methanesulfonyl chloride and triethylamine and (2) substitution of the mesylate by sodium bromide in N,N-dimethyl formamide. The dimagnesium salt of XLIII is then formed as previously described and added to the ketone IV. The adduct XLIV is then reacted with the thiol IX as in Method C to yield XLV.

2~~3~~6 Method I
The ketoester XXX is treated with the iodide XLVI and decarboxylated as in Method F. Reduction of the ketone with a reagent such as NaBH4 yields the alcohol XLVII. By reaction with an organometallic in toluene, the nitrite XLVII is converted to the amine XLVIII. The thiol IX is then added as in Method C to afford XLIX. Reaction of an iodide with the amine XLIX gives a secondary or tertiary amine L. Both XLIX and L are representative of structure I.
Method J
Vinylmagnesium bromide or allylmagnesium bromide is added to the aldehyde derivative of IV to yield LI. Using the procedure of R.C. Larock Wit, Wit.
(Tetrahedron Letters, ~Q, 6629 (1989)), the aryl halide LII is coupled to the alcohol LI to give LIII. When Q3 is an ester or an alcohol, LIII can be converted to LIV or its isomer, a structure representative of Ia, using the procedure of Method G. Also, when Q3 is Q1, chiral reduction of the ketone LIII with XXXV as in Method G followed by formation of the mesylate and substitution by the thiol LV afford LVI, a structure representative of Ib.

LIV (la) LVI (1b) 20~32~6 Assays for Determini~ Biological Activity Compounds of Formula I can be tested using the following assays to determine their mammalian leukotriene antagonist activity and their ability to inhibit leukotriene biosynthesis.
The leukotriene antagonist properties of compounds of the present invention were evaluated using the following assays.
to LTD4 Receptor Binding Studies in Guinea Pig Lung Membranes, Guinea Pig Trachea and In vivo Studies in Anesthetized Guinea Pigs A complete description of these three tests is given by T.R. Jones g~t ~1., Can. J. Physiol.
Pharmacol., ~7, 17-28 (1989).
Compounds of Formula I were tested using the following assays to determine their mammalian 2~ leukotriene biosynthesis inhibiting activity.
Determination of Inhibition of 5-Lipoxvge, nase The activity of 5-lipoxygenase was measured from the conversion of [14C]-arachidonic acid to 5-HETE and 5,12-diHETEs catalyzed by the 10,000 x g supernatant fraction from rat PMN leukocytes, using the procedure of Riendeau and Leblanc (~iochem.
Bioph~. $~.. Commun., ~, 534-540, (1986)) with minor modifications. The incubation mixture 3o Contained 25 mM Na+/~+ phosphate buff er, pH 7.3, 1 mM
ATP, 0.5 mM CaCl2, 0.5 mM mercaptoethanol and an aliquot of the enzyme preparation in a final volume of 0.2 m1. The enzyme was pre-incubated with the inhibitor for 2 min at 37°C before initiation of the reaction with the addition of 2 m1 of [14C~_arachidonic acid (25,000 DPM) in ethanol to obtain a final concentration of 10 mM. Inhibitors were added as 500-fold concentrated solutions in DMSO. After incubation for 10 min at 37°C, the reaction was stopped by adding 0.8 mL of diethyl ether/methanol/1 M citric acid (30:4:1). The samples were centrifuged at 1,000 x g for 5 min and the organic phases analyzed by TLC on Baker Si250F-PA or l0 Whatman silica gel 60A LKGF plates using diethyl ether/petroleum ether/acetic acid (50:50:1) as solvent. The amount of radioactivity migrating at the positions of arachidonic acid, 5-HETE and 5,12-diHETEs was determined using a Berthold TLC
15 analyzer LB 2842. The activity of 5-lipoxygenase was calculated from the percentage of conversion of arachidonic acid to 5-HETE and 5,12-diHETEs after the min incubation.
Human Pol morphon~lear ~PMN) Leukor,~yte LTB4 Assav A. Preparation of Human PMN
Human blood was obtained by antecubital venepuncture from consenting volunteers who had not taken medication within the previous 7 days. The blood was immediately added to 10% (v/v) trisodium citrate (0.13 M) or 5% (v/v) sodium heparin (1000 IU/mL). PMNs were isolated from anticaagulated blood by dextran sedimentation of erythrocytes followed by centrifugation through F'_ico~l-~fypaqueT"" (specific gravity 1.077), as described by Boyum.l Contaminating erythrocytes were removed by lysis following exposure to ammonium chloride (0.16 M) in ~fl~~~~
207/GL81 - 58 - 18z17IA
Tris buffer (pH 7.65), and the PrINs resuspended at 5 x 105 cells/mL in HEPES (15 mM)-buffered Hanks balanced salt solution containing Ca2+ (1.4 mM) and Mg2+ (0.7 mM), pH 7.4. Viability was assessed by Trypan blue exclusion and was typically greater than 98%.
B. Generation and Radioimmunoassay of LTB4 PMNs (0.5 mL; 2.5 x 105 cells) were placed in plastic tubes and incubated (37°C, 2 min) with test compounds at the desired concentration or vehicle (DMSO, final concentration 0.2%) as control.
The synthesis of LTB4 was initiated by the addition of calcium ionophore A23187 (final concentration 10 ~°M) or vehicle in control samples and allowed to proceed for 5 minutes at 37°C. The reactions were then terminated by the addition of cold methanol (0.25 mL) and samples of the entire PMN reaction mixture were removed for radioimmunoassay of LTB4.
Samples (50 mL) of authentic LTB4 of known concentration in radioimmunoassay buffer (RIA) buffer (potassium phosphate 1 mM; disodium EDTA 0.1 mM;
Thimerosal 0.025 mM; gelatin 0.1%, pH 7.3) or PMN
reaction mixture diluted 1:1 with RIA buff er were added to reaction tubes. Thereafter [3H]-LTB4 (10 nCi in 100 mL R1A buffer) and LTB4-antiserum (100 mL
of a 1:3000 dilution in RIA buff er) were added and the tubes vortexed. Reactants were allowed to equilibrate by incubation overnight at 4°C. To separate antibody-bound from free LTB4, aliquots (50 mL) of activated charcoal (3% activated charcoal in RIA buffer containing 0.25% Dextran T-70) were added, 2~~32~6 the tubes vortexed, and allowed to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes prior to centrifugation (1500 x g; 10 min; 4°C). The supernatants containing antibody-bound LTB4 were decanted into vials and Aquasol 2 (4 mL) was added. Radioactivity was quantified by liquid scintillation spectrometry.
Preliminary studies established that the amount of methanol carried into the radioimmuno-assay did not influence the results. The specificity of the antiserum and the sensitivity of the procedure have been described by Rokach ,~ X7.2 The amount of LTB4 produced in test and control (approx. 20 ng/106 cells) samples were calculated. Inhibitory dose-response curves were constructed using a four-parameter algorithm and from these the IC50 values were determined.
Compounds of Formula I were tested in the following assays to determine their ~n V1V0 2o activity as both leukotriene antagonist and leukotriene biosynthesis inhibitor.

20~32~6 Asthmatic Rat Assay Rats are obtained from an inbred line of asthmatic rats. Both female (190-250 g) and male (260-400 g) rats are used.
Egg albumin (EA), grade V, crystallized and lyophilized, is obtained from Sigma Chemical Co., St.
Louis. Aluminum hydroxide is obtained from the Regis Chemical Company, Chicago. Methysergide bimaleate was supplied by Sandoz Ltd., Basel.
1o The challenge and subsequent respiratory recordings are carried out in a clear plastic box with internal dimensions 10 x 6 x 4 inches. The top of the box is removable; in use, it is held firmly in place by four clamps and an airtight seal is maintained by a soft rubber gasket. Through the center of each end of the chamber a Devilbiss nebulizer (No. 40) is inserted via an airtight seal and each end of the box also has an outlet. A
Fleisch No. 0000 pneumotachograph is inserted into one end of the box and coupled to a Grass volumetric pressure transducer (PT5-A) which is then connected to a Beckman Type R Dynograph through appropriate couplers. While aerosolizing the antigen, the outlets are open and the pneumotachograph is isolated from the chamber. The outlets are closed and the pneumotachograpa and the chamber are connected during the recording of the respiratory patterns. For challenge, 2 mL of a 3% solution of antigen in saline is placed into each nebulizer and the aerosol is generated with air from a small Potter diaphragm pump operating at 10 psi and a flow of 8 liters/minute.

~o~~~~z~~

Rats are sensitized by injecting (subcutaneously) 1 mL of a suspension containing 1 mg EA and 200 mg aluminum hydroxide in saline. They are used between days 12 and 24 postsensitization. In order to eliminate the serotonin component of the response, rats are pretreated intravenously 5 minutes prior to aerosol challenge with 3.0 mgm/kg of methysergide. Rats are then exposed to an aerosol of 3% EA in saline for exactly 1 minute, then their respiratory profiles are recorded for a further 30 minutes. The duration of continuous dyspnea is measured from the respiratory recordings.
Compounds are generally administered either orally 1-4 hours prior to challenge or intravenously 2 minutes prior to challenge. They are either dissolved in saline or 1% methocel or suspended in 1%
methocel. The volume injected is 1 mL/kg (intravenously) or 10 mL/kg (orally). Prior to oral treatment rats are starved overnight. Their activity is determined in terms of their ability to decrease the duration of symptoms of dyspnea in comparison with a group of vehicle-treated controls. Usually, a compound is evaluated at a series of doses and an ED50 is determined. This is defined as the dose (mg/kg) which would inhibit the duration of symptoms by 50%.
Pulmonary Mechanics in Trained Conscious Sqm;rrpl Monkeys The test procedure involves placing trained squirrel monkeys in chairs in aerosol exposure 20~32~6 chambers. For control purposes, pulmonary mechanics measurements of respiratory parameters are recorded for a period of about 30 minutes to establish each monkey s normal control values for that day. For oral administration, compounds are dissolved or suspended in a 1% methocel solution (methylcellulose, 65HG,400 cps) and given in a volume of 1 ml/kg body weight. For aerosol administraiton of compounds, a DeVilbiss ultrasonic nebulizer is utilized.
Pretreatment periods vary from 5 minutes to 4 hours before the monkeys are challenged with aerosol doses of either leukotriene D4 (LTD4) or Ascaris antigen.
Following challenge, each minute of data is calculated by computer as a percent change from control values for each respiratory parameter including airway resistance (RL) and dynamic compliance (Cdyn). The results for each test compound are subsequently obtained for a minimum period of 60 minutes post challenge which are then Compared to previously obtained historical baseline control values for that monkey. In addition, the overall values for 60 minutes post-challenge for each monkey (historical baseline values and test values) are averaged separately and are used to calculate the overall percent inhibition of LTD4 or Ascaris antigen response by the test compound. For statistical analysis, paired t-test is used.

Prevention of Induced Bronchoconstriction in Allergic Sheen A. Rationale:
Certain allergic sheep with known sensitivity to a specific antigen (Ascaris suum) respond to inhalation challenge with acute and late bronchial responses. The time course of both the acute and the late bronchial responses approximates the time course observed in asthmatics and the Pharmacological modification of both responses is similar to that found in man. The effects of antigen in these sheep are largely observed in the large airways and are conveniently monitored as changes in lung resistance or specific lung resistance.
B. Methods:
Animal Pre~araticzn: Adult sheep with a mean weight of 35 kg (range, 18 to 50 kg) are used. All animals used meet two criteria: a) they have a natural cutaneous reaction to 1:1,000 or 1:10,000 dilutions of Ascaris suum extract (Greer Diagnostics, Lenois, NC) and b) they have previously responded to inhalation challenge with Ascaris suum with both an acute bronchoconstriction and a late bronchial obstruction (Abraham, W.M., Delehunt, J.C., Yerger, L. and Marchette, B., Am. Rev. Resp. Dis., ~.8, 839-44 (1983)).

Measurement of Airway Mechanics: The unsedated sheep are restrained in a cart in the prone position with their heads immobilized. After topical anesthesia of the nasal passages with 2% lidocaine solution, a balloon catheter is advanced through one nostril into the lower esophagus. The animals are then intubated with a cuffed endotracheal tube through the other nostril using a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope as a guide. Pleural pressure is 1o estimated with the esophageal balloon catheter (filled with one ml of air), which is positioned such that inspiration produces a negative pressure deflection with clearly discernible cardiogenic oscillations. Lateral pressure in the trachea is 15 measured with a sidehole catheter (inner dimensions, 2.5 mm) advanced through and positioned distal to the tip of the nasotracheal tube. Transpulmonary pressure, the difference between tracheal pressure and pleural pressure, is measured with a differential 2o Pressure transducer (DP45; Validyne Corp., Northridge, CA). Testing of the pressure transducer catheter system reveals no phase shift between pressure and flow to a frequency of 9 Hz. For the measurement of pulmonary resistance (RL), the maximal 25 end of the nasotracheal tube is connected to a pneumotachograpi~ (Fleisch, Dyna Sciences, Blue Bell, PA). The signals of flow and transpulmonary pressure are recorded on an oscilloscope (Model DR-12;
Electronics for Medicine, White Plains, NY) which is 30 linked to a PDP-11 Digital computer (Digital 20~321~

Equipment Corp., Maynard, MA) for on-line calculation of RL from transpulmonary pressure, respiratory volume obtained by integration and flow. Analysis of 10-15 breaths is used for the determination of RL.
Thoracic gas volume (Vtg) is measured in a body plethysmograph, to obtain specific pulmonary resistance (SRL = RL~Vtg).
Aerosol Delive~~S~~stems : Aerosols of Ascaris suum extract (1:20) axe generated using a disposable medical nebulizer (Raindrop~, Puritan Bennett), which produces an aerosol with a mass median aerodynamic diameter of 6.2 N.M (geometric standard deviation, 2.1) as determined by an electric size analyzer (Model 3030; Thermal Systems, St. Paul, MN). The output from the nebulizer is directed into a plastic t-piece, one end of which is attached to the nasotracheal tube, the other end of which is connected to the inspiratory part of a Harvard respirator. The aerosol is delivered at a tidal volume of 500 m1 of a rate of 20 per minute. Thus, each sheep receives an equivalent dose of antigen in both placebo and drug trials.
experimental Protocol: Prior to antigen challenge baseli:~e measurements of SRL are obtained, infusion of the test compound is started 1 hr prior to challenge, the measurement of.SRL repeated and then the sheep undergoes inhalation challenge with Ascaris suum antigen. Measurements of SRL are obtained immediately after antigen challenge and at 1,2,3,4,5,6,6.5,7,7.5 and 8 hr after antigen challenge. Placebo and drug tests are separated by at least 14 days. In a further study, sheep are given a bolus dose of the test compound followed by an infusion of the test compound fox 0.5-1 hr prior to ascaris challenge and for 8 hr after ascaris as described above.

Statistical Analysis: A Kruskal-Wallis one way ANOVA test was used to compare the acute immediate responses to antigen and the peak late response in the controls and the drug treated animals.
The invention is further defined by reference to the following examples, which are intended to be illustrative and not limiting. All temperatures are in degrees Celsius.
