Abstract

The method of treating patients by administering N-[3-[5-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-2-thienyl]-1-methyl-2-propynyl]-N-hydroxyurea for treatment of leukotriene related pathologies, and compositions for this use.

Claims (14)

1 . A composition comprising R- and S-enantiomers of N-[3-[5-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-2-thienyl]-1-methyl-2-propynyl]-N-hydroxyurea or pharmaceutically effective salts thereof wherein the composition comprises less than 2% of the S-enantiomer.

2 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises less than 1% of the S-enantiomer.

3 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition consists of R- and S-enantiomers of N-[3-[5-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-2-thienyl]-1-methyl-2-propynyl]-N-hydroxyurea or pharmaceutically effective salts thereof.

4 . The composition of claim 3 , wherein the composition consists of less than 1% of the S-enantiomer.

5 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is provided in a unit dosage form for oral administration and wherein the composition is present in an amount of about 25-100 mg.

6 . The composition of claim 5 , wherein the composition is present in an amount of about 25, 50, 75, or 100 mg.

8 . The composition of claim 5 , wherein said unit oral dosage form is a tablet or capsule.

9 . The composition of claim 1 for use in treating a leukotriene related pathology in a subject in need thereof.

10 . The composition for use of claim 9 , wherein the subject is a human.

11 . The composition for use of claim 9 , wherein the pathology is heart attack, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, a cardiovascular disease, an inflammatory disease, a cancer, ischemia induced myocardial injury, central nervous system pathology resulting from formation of leukotrienes following stroke or subarachnoid hemorrhage, allergy, or a fibrotic disease.

12 . The composition for use of claim 9 , wherein the pathology is a cardiovascular disease caused by atherosclerotic plaque.

13 . The composition for use of claim 11 , wherein the inflammatory disease is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ocular inflammatory diseases, asthma, allergic rhinitis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, or endotoxin shock syndrome.
