Abstract
Eight known antipsoriatic drugs of diverse structures were tested on the basis of
their structural similarity with arachidonic acid and known inhibitors of lipoxygenase.
A correlation was observed between their antipsoriatic activity and lipoxygenase inhibition
suggesting that a common underlying mechanism of action might be involved.
