CP 105696 is primarily used in research settings to study its effects on inflammatory processes. It acts as a potent and selective antagonist for leukotriene B4 receptors, which play a significant role in inflammation and immune responses. This makes it a valuable tool for investigating conditions such as asthma, arthritis, and other inflammatory diseases. Researchers utilize CP 105696 to better understand the mechanisms of inflammation and to explore potential therapeutic applications for managing chronic inflammatory disorders. Its specificity in targeting leukotriene pathways helps in developing targeted treatments with minimal side effects.
