Structural features of the agonist leukotriene C-4 (LTC4) derived from
conformational analysis has led to the development of an intuitive re
ceptor model and the design of potential LTC, antagonists. These compo
unds are modelled, in which either phenoxymethyleneoxadiazole, N-pheny
lbenzamide or phenyloxymethylenetetrazole functionality is incorporate
d as a planar equivalent of LTC4. The trifluoromethyl group is introdu
ced at the lipophilic binding pocket of the agonist.
