title: [The effect of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase inhibitors on Ca(2+)-responses induced by glutoxim and molixan in macrophages].
abstract: Glutoxim and molixan belong to a new generation of disulfide-containing drugs with immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective and hemopoetic effect. Using Fura-2AM microfluorimetry, the possible involvement of the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways of arachidonic acid oxidation in the effect of glutoxim and molixan on the intracellular Ca2+ concentration in rat peritoneal macrophages has been investigated. We have shown for the first time that preincubation of the cells with the cyclooxygenase inhibitors, indomethacin and aspirin, or lipoxygenase inhibitors, nordihydroguaiaretic acid, caffeic acid and baicalein, almost completely prevents the intracellular Ca2+ concentration increase induced by glutoxim or molixan. The obtained data indicate the involvement of products and/or enzymes of the arachidonic acid cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase metabolism pathways in the effect of glutoxim and molixan on the processes of Ca2+ signaling in macrophages.
