Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of joints for which there is no strict cure. However, conventional medications can reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and slow joint damage. Leukotrienes are a family of paracrine agents derived from oxidative metabolism of arachidonic acid. Synthesis of lipid mediators and subsequent induction of receptor activity are tightly regulated under normal physiological conditions, so that enzyme and/or receptor dysfunction can lead to a variety of clinical signs and symptoms of disease, such as local pain and tissue edema. In these tissues, immunocompetent cells accumulate at the site of injury, contributing to tissue damage and perpetuation of the disease process. Leukotrienes (often leukotriene B4) as potent chemotactic agents can provoke most signs and symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis by initiating, coordinating, sustaining, and amplifying the inflammatory response, through recruitment of leukocytes. A number of studies have reported that pharmacological modulation in this field can significantly attenuate clinical manifestations associated with different inflammatory pathologies.
