title: FPL 62064, a topically active 5-lipoxygenase/cyclooxygenase inhibitor.
abstract: FLP 62064 [N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-amine] is a dual inhibitor of prostaglandin synthetase and 5-lipoxygenase. The compound had anti-inflammatory activity in vivo in a number of models. It inhibited peritoneal inflammation induced by immune-complex when given locally. When applied to the skin, FPL 62064 inhibited UV irradiation-induced erythema and PGE2 formation in the guinea pig and also oedema formation and eicosanoid production in the mouse ear produced by arachidonic acid. Co-injected with arachidonic acid in rabbit skin, FPL 62064 inhibited oedema and eicosanoid formation.
