General Description

(3S)-3-(methylsulfanyl)-7-nitro-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C9H8N2O3S. It is a yellow solid with a molecular weight of 220.24 g/mol. (3S)-3-(methylsulfanyl)-7-nitro-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one is also known by the name Zileuton, and it is a leukotriene synthesis inhibitor that is used in the treatment of asthma. It works by blocking the action of the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase, which is responsible for the production of leukotrienes, inflammatory compounds that can cause symptoms of asthma such as bronchoconstriction and mucus production. Zileuton is typically administered orally as a tablet or extended-release tablet, and it is important to follow the recommended dosage and use it as directed by a healthcare professional.
