Zileuton functions as a leukotriene antagonist, which means it inhibits the effects of leukotrienes, compounds that contribute to cellular inflammation. Research has shown that zileuton can decrease the production of leukotrienes, which has research impacts in the context of inflammation and airway constriction. Laboratory studies across various cell culture systems have corroborated its ability to suppress leukotriene activity. Furthermore, it has been noted to hinder the proliferation of certain cancer cell lines in controlled lab settings. The mechanism of zileuton′s action relates to its ability to attach to leukotriene receptors, blocking these inflammatory mediators from interacting with their targets.
