    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Immunology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Leukotrienes are a class of inflammatory mediators.
    • They are derived from arachidonic acid through the lipoxygenase pathway.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive review of leukotrienes.
    • To discuss their historical background, formation, distribution, and biological activity.
    • To explore their potential involvement in pulpal and periradicular diseases.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of existing research on leukotrienes.
    • Synthesis of information regarding their chemical pathways and biological functions.

    Main Results:

    • Leukotrienes are potent inflammatory substances.
    • Their formation involves specific enzymatic pathways.
    • They are found in various cells and biological fluids.

    Conclusions:

    • Leukotrienes possess significant biological activity.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate their precise role in pulpal and periradicular disease pathogenesis.
