MK-886 is a leukotriene biosynthesis inhibitor exerts an anti inflammatory and antioxidant activity. Objectives The objective of present study was to assess the possible protective effect of MK-886 against hemorrhagic shock-induced acute lung injury via interfering with inflammatory and oxidative pathways. Materials and methods Eighteen adult Albino rats were assigned to three groups each containing six rats group I sham group rats underwent all surgical instrumentation but neither hemorrhagic shock nor resuscitation was done group II Rats underwent hemorrhagic shock HS for 1 hr then resuscitated with Ringer s lactate 1 hr induced untreated group HS group III HS MK-886 mg kg . injection 30 min before the induction of HS and the same dose was repeated just before reperfusion period . At the end of experiment 2 hr after completion of resuscitation blood samples were collected for measurement of serum tumor necrosis factor-a TNF-a and interleukin-6 IL-6 . The trachea was then isolated and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid BALF was carried out for measurement of leukotriene B4 LTB4 leukotriene C4 LTC4 and total protein. The lungs were harvested excised and the left lung was homogenized for measurement of malondialdehyde MDA and reduced glutathione GSH and the right lung was fixed in 10 formalin for histological examination. Results MK-886 treatment significantly reduced the total lung injury .
