A method and composition for preserving or enhancing the beneficial effects of interlude-2 (IL-2) while simultaneously mitigating the adverse effects of IL-2 on a subject is disclosed. The method involves administering an amount of a leukotriene B
4
(LTB
4
) antagonist, preferably a LTB
4
receptor antagonistic, to a subject exhibiting adverse pharmacological effects due to exogenous IL-2, where the amount administered to the subject is sufficient to decrease the IL-2 induces adverse effects. Also disclosed is an article of manufacturing comprising a composition of the leukotriene B
4
antagonist in combination with labeling instructions for treatment. Also disclosed is a method for preparing a pharmaceutical composition. Generally the LTB
4
antagonist will reduce the IL-2-induced adverse effects while preserving or enhancing the anti tumor, antiviral, or immunostimulatory effects of IL-2, thereby improving the therapeutic index of IL-2.
本发明揭示了一种用于保护或增强白细胞介素-2(IL-2)的有益效果,同时减轻IL-2对受试者的不良影响的方法和组合物。该方法涉及向因外源性IL-2而出现不良药理效应的受试者施用一定量的白三烯B4(LTB4)拮抗剂,优选为LTB4受体拮抗剂,其中向受试者施用的量足以降低IL-2引起的不良效应。本发明还揭示了一种制造物品,包括白三烯B4拮抗剂组合物和治疗标签说明书。本发明还揭示了一种制备药物组合物的方法。通常,LTB4拮抗剂将减少IL-2引起的不良效应,同时保护或增强IL-2的抗肿瘤、抗病毒或免疫刺激作用,从而提高IL-2的治疗指数。
