Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) used for the maintenance treatment of asthma and to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies. Montelukast is a CysLT1 antagonist; it blocks the action of leukotriene D4 (and secondary ligands LTC4 and LTE4) on the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor CysLT1 in the lungs and bronchial tubes by binding to it. This reduces the bronchoconstriction otherwise caused by the leukotriene and results in less inflammation.

Biological target:
Montelukast sodium is a potent, selective and orally active antagonist of cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (Cysltr1).
In vitro activity:
The SARS-CoV2 is a highly contagious pathogen that causes COVID-19 disease. The in-silico predictions were experimentally validated using vero E6 cells infected with SARS-CoV2 virus. To evaluate the effect of compounds in vitro, Vero E6 cells were seeded in 96 well culture plates. 16 h after seeding the cells were infected with SARS-CoV2 virus at 0.1 MOI for 2 h at 37 °C. Montelukast has been predicted by other groups as well to bind to main protease of SARS-CoV2. Interestingly, many of the predicted molecules viz. capreomycin, celecoxib, mefloquine, montelukast, and nebivolol showed good activity (IC50) against SARS-CoV2. Among the 5 drugs tested mefloquine has the lowest IC50 value at 0.37 uM and montelukast, which was also predicted by others to possess anti-SARS-CoV2 potential has a higher IC50 value of 18.82 uM (Fig. 12, Table 3). The leukotriene inhibitor montelukast is shown to reduce proinflammatory cytokines e.g. TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β levels. It has also been suggested that montelukast should be tried as therapeutic option in COVID-19 .The drugs montelukast, celecoxib and nebivolol can cross blood brain barrier , which gives additional advantage to counter neurological manifestations of COVID-19.

In vivo activity:
Leukotrienes are involved in neuroinflammation and in the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The effects of the leukotriene receptor antagonist montelukast (MTK) on hippocampal gene expression in 5xFAD mice, a commonly used transgenic AD mouse model were analyzed. Glial activation and neuroinflammation were identified as the main pathways modulated by MTK. The treatment increased the number of Tmem119+ microglia and downregulated genes related to AD-associated microglia and to lipid droplet-accumulating microglia, suggesting that the MTK treatment targets and modulates microglia phenotypes in the disease model compared to the vehicle. MTK treatment further reduced infiltration of CD8+T-cells into the brain parenchyma.MTK treatment and resulted in improved cognitive functions. The 5xFAD females showed a more severe pathology, and in consequence, MTK treatment had a more pronounced effect in the females compared to the males. The effects on neuroinflammation, i.e., microglia and CD8+ T-cells, as well as the effects on cognitive outcome, were dose-dependent, therefore arguing for the use of higher doses of MTK in AD clinical trials compared to the approved asthma dose. MTK could be a potential drug candidate for AD and provide novel modes of action via modulation of microglia and CD8+ T-cells.
