In Vitro
In anti-CD3-treated cells, IL-2 decreases in zileuton-treated and untreated cells with increasing incubation time. Zileuton likely reduces IL-2 levels by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase, hence leukotriene B4 production, an IL-2 inducer[2].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 10 mg/mL (42.32 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 10 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

Protocolo
Animal Administration[1]
Rats: Rats are randomized into 6 groups (n=12 per group): sham I/R group, I/R group, zileuton+I/R group, zileuton+indomethacin+I/R group, zileuton+ketorolac+I/R group, and zileuton+nimesulide+I/R group. 5-LOX inhibitor zileuton (5 mg/kg, orally twice daily) is given alone or with non-selective COX inhibitor indomethacin (5 mg/kg, intraperitoneally), selective COX-1 inhibitor ketorolac (10 mg/kg, orally) or selective COX-2 inhibitor nimesulide (10 mg/kg, subcutaneously). COX inhibitors are given 15 minutes before zileuton administration. All drugs are given for 3 days prior to I/R or sham I/R procedure. Dose of zileuton (5 mg/kg, twice daily) is used in this study. Rats in sham I/R group receive the vehicle of zileuton orally. Zileuton is dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and further dilutions are made using saline to achieve a final DMSO concentration of 1%.
