RESUMEN

El asma es una enfermedad común en los niños y su prevalencia en este grupo se ha incrementado. Las razones para este incremento no son claras, por lo que no hay duda de que el asma es ahora un problema de salud a considerar. Afortunadamente, el conocimiento sobre la fisiopatología del asma también es mayor. Es conocido que el asma es una enfermedad inflamatoria crónica, regulada por una variedad de mediadores, donde los leucotrienos son algunos de los más importantes. En el presente artículo se describen las características famacológicas y sus aplicaciones de los diversos antileucotrienos existentes en la actualidad.
