Answer:

Leukotriene synthesis inhibitors, such as zileuton, block the enzyme, 5-lipoxygenase, which is necessary for the formation of leukotrienes. Montelukast, zafirlukast, and zileuton may be considered for the treatment of asthma. Only montelukast is approved to treat allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and allergies as well.
