Over the last few years, we have witnessed tremendous progress in
the field of eicosanoids and their therapeutic applications.
Receptor an tagonists for leukotrienes have been tested as
anti-inflammatories and are on the market as a treatment for
asthma. Receptor agonists for pro stacyclin are being tested for
the treatment of peripheral vascular dis ease, and selective
inhibitors of cyclooxygenase type II were just ap proved for the
treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. All these developments are the
culmination of many years and man-hours of careful research. The
field has now entered an upswing that will result in novel thera
peutic applications within the next 10 years. New molecules and me
diators have been identified, new enzymes and pathways elucidated
and new therapeutic approaches have emerged. The concept of ei
cosanoids as "pro-inflammatory" molecules is being challenged, and
their role as regulators is increasingly recognized. In fact, some
of these molecules may be important endogenous anti-inflammatory
agents."
