Abstract

The effect of five neuropeptides was tested on platelet activating factor (PAF)-stimulated peptidoleukotriene biosynthesis in rat lungs. Calcitonin and peptide histidine valine-42 (PHV-42) were found to inhibit leukotriene C₄ (LTC₄) and D₄ (LTD₄) biosynthesis to an extent similar to the previously reported effects of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI) respectively. Helodermin potently inhibited the biosynthesis of all three peptidoleukotrienes. Neuropeptide Y and galanin, both present in airways, enhanced the levels of LTD₄ and had no effect on LTC₄ or leukotriene E₄ (LTE₄) levels. The theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
