description

Abstract We have studied the potential anti-inflammatory effects of 20 2-tosylamino and 2-tosyliminopyrimidine new derivatives in human neutrophils. We have evaluated their interference with some leukocyte functions and 5-lipoxygenase activity. All the compounds reduced neutrophil degranulation process at concentrations in the μM range. Besides, compounds with a phenolic substitution inhibited leukotriene B 4 biosynthesis in neutrophils and decreased the cell-free 5-lipoxygenase activity. This study demonstrates that 2-tosylamino and 2-tosyliminopyrimidine derivatives can reduce the activation of neutrophil cells which may have relevance for the modulation of the inflammatory response.
