COMPOSITIONS AND TREATMENTS COMPRISING 5-LIPOXYGENASE-ACTIVATING PROTEIN INHIBITORS AND NITRIC OXIDE MODULATORS

摘要

Disclosed herein are compositions and compounds that combine an inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) and a modulator of NO levels in a mammal. The NO modulator can be an agent that induces the production of NO in a mammal, or can be an agent that itself produces NO in the mammal. Further disclosed herein are strategies for synthesizing such compounds, and methods for testing whether the combination compounds and compositions provide a desired benefit. Also disclosed herein are pharmaceutical compositions and formulations that combine a FLAP inhibitor and an NO modulator. Further described herein are methods for using such compositions and compounds for the treatment of diseases, conditions, and disorders in a mammal, including a human. Such treatment methods include the separate administration of a FLAP inhibitor and a NO modulator to the mammal, and the simultaneous administration of a FLAP inhibitor and a NO modulator to the mammal.
