Lipoxygenase inhibitors are used as cytoprotective active ingredient in producing cytoprotective pharmaceutical compositions. Corresponding cytoprotective pharmaceutical compositions are prepared by incorporating into a pharmaceutical composition a lipoxygenase inhibitor in a cytoprotective active amount. The prepared cytoprotective therapeutic composition may be used to treat or prevent disease states such as erosive gastritis, erosive esophagitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and induced hemorrhagic gastric erosions such as those caused by indomethacin or ethanol. The lipoxygenase inhibitors induce cytoprotection via an unspecified mechanism.
