Abstract

The (5S,6R) isomers of new acetylenic and allenic analogues of leukotrienes C4 and D4 were synthesized for comparative pharmacological studies on intestinal smooth muscle preparations. These new analogues are poor spasmogenic agonists, the replacement of the 11,12-ene with a relatively more stable triple bond causing an important reduction in intrinsic activity. They did not show any significant antagonist activity. Unexpectedly, these results prove that the 11,12 portion in the triene structure of the lipophilic chain is critical for an agonist activity.
