Etalocib is a drug candidate that was under development for the treatment of various types of cancer.[1] It acts as a leukotriene B4 receptor antagonist and a PPARγ agonist.[2]

Clinical trials were conducted measuring efficacy for treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer and the inflammatory conditions asthma, psoriasis, and ulcerative colitis, but were suspended due to lack of efficacy.[3]
