Abstract

Background and aims

Though cyclooxygenase inhibitors are employed in rheumatoid arthritis treatment, modulators of leukotrienes are underexplored. We investigated the therapeutic potential of montelukast, a known cysteinyl leukotriene receptor-1 (CysLT1) inhibitor in an experimental rat model of arthritis.

Methods

Arthritis was induced in rats, and montelukast (5 mg/kg body wt.) was administered prophylactically (PAM) and therapeutically (TAM) through oral route.

Results and discussion

Blood and joint tissue markers of oxidative stress (lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyls, and nitric oxides) were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in montelukast administered rats. Paw inflammation, RA markers (RF and CRP), eicosanoids (PGE2, LTB4, and LTC4), cytokines (IL-1β and MCP-1), activity of hydrolytic enzymes (collagenase, elastase, and hyaluronidase), expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), and EP-4 receptor were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in montelukast administered rats. This study established that leukotriene inhibition through montelukast lowered the severity of arthritis and thus a potential strategy for reducing the severity of arthritis.
