RESUMO
A Autora, numa breve introdução passa em revista a modificação do conceito de asma. Revê o papel dos leucotrienos no processo inflamatório crónico: acção broncoconstrictora, aumento da permeabilidade vascular, quimiotactismo, hipersecreção de muco e aumento da reactividade brônquica. Refere-se aos vários tipos de antileucotrienos – inibidores da síntese e bloqueantes dos receptores - e às suas acções farmacológicas, bem como à sua aplicaçã clínic e seu posicionamento no tratamen-toda asma.

ABSTRACT
The author reviews the concept of asthma and the role of leukotrienes in chronic inflammation of bronchial asthma: bronchoconstrition, bronchial hyperreadivity, increasing of vascular permeability, mucous hypersecretion and cellular infiltration. Phamacological and clinical characteristics of antileukotrienes and their place in the control of asthma are also reviewed.
