“In the presence of exogenous arachidonic acid (100 microM, 15 min), colchicine decreased LTB4 to 48% +/- 11.7 of control and 5-HETE to 60.5% +/- 5.7 of control (mean +/- SEM); 15-HETE was also decreased to 61% +/- 10.3 of control.”
“A selective inhibitory effect of colchicine on the 5-LO pathway was demonstrated by monitoring the synthesis of 5-LO products from exogenously supplied AA.”
“In addition, colchicine inhibited the total release of AA as well as prostanoids to a lesser extent.”
