Cysteinyl leukotrienes are inflammatory mediators having important role in pathophysiological conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and have been implicated in a number of inflammatory conditions including cardiovascular and gastrointestinal diseases. Most of the disease regulatory actions of the CysLTs are mediated through CysLT1 receptor. Hence in the present study, homology modeling of CysLT1 was performed because the availability of 3D structure would enhance the development of new drugs for inflammatory diseases. However the templates identified have low sequence identity which increases the complexity of modeling. Hence, homology modeling was performed using single template, multiple templates and also using threading I-TASSER server. The best model was selected based on the validation of the generated models using Ramachandran and ERRAT plot. The model developed could be useful for identifying crucial residues and docking study.
