Potent and selective inhibition of human nitric oxide synthases. Selective inhibition of neuronal nitric oxide synthase by S-methyl-L-thiocitrulline and S-ethyl-L-thiocitrulline.
Potent and selective inhibition of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) compared to endothelial NOS (eNOS) and inducible NOS (iNOS) may be useful to treat cerebral ischemia (stroke) and other neurodegenerative diseases. S-Methyl-L-thiocitrulline (Me-TC) and S-ethyl-L-thiocitrulline (Et-TC) inhibited the oxidation of L-arginine and the L-arginine-independent oxidation of NADPH by nNOS from huma...
متن کاملL-NAME in the cardiovascular system - nitric oxide synthase activator?
L-arginine analogues are widely used inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity both in vitro and in vivo, with N(ω)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) being at the head. On the one hand, acute and chronic L-NAME treatment leads to changes in blood pressure and vascular reactivity due to decreased nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. However, lower doses of L-NAME may also activate NO...
متن کاملRole of L-NAME, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, in the improvement of morphine-induced amnesia induced by nicotine
Introduction: Drugs of abuse such as nicotine and morphine used systemically by addicts produce their effects via the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway. Furthermore, evidence indicates that some behavioral effects of nicotine and morphine are mediated by nitric oxide (NO). Based on these observations, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of intra-nucleus accumbens (NAc) ...
متن کاملInhibition of Nitric Oxide Synthase by L-NAME Promotes Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Male Rats
Objective. Nitric oxide (NO) has numerous important functions in the kidney. The role of NO in cisplatin (CP)-induced nephrotoxicity is not completely understood. This study was designed to determine the role of NO synthase inhibitor (L-NAME) on the severity of CP-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Methods. Sixty four male (M) and female (F) Wistar rats were randomly divided into eight groups. The...
