unclear MOA
PDE4 inhibiotr - increases cAMP but weak bronchodilator
used in COPD to enhance muscle fx, drive to breath and decrease pulm resistance
very narrow therapeutic window

leukotriene recptor antagonist
only 25% of asthma pts respond
anti inflammatory

rarely used except for extreme asthma
5-lypoygenase inhibitor –> blocks leukotriene synthesis
