Nanocarriers for Nitric Oxide Delivery
Nitric oxide (NO) is a promising pharmaceutical agent that has vasodilative, antibacterial, and tumoricidal effects. To study the complex and wide-ranging roles of NO and to facilitate its therapeutic use, a great number of synthetic compounds (e.g., nitrosothiols, nitrosohydroxyamines, N-diazeniumdiolates, and nitrosyl metal complexes) have been developed to chemically stabilize and release NO...
متن کاملAntibacterial Action of Nitric Oxide-Releasing Chitosan Oligosaccharides against Pseudomonas aeruginosa under Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditions.
Chitosan oligosaccharides were modified with N-diazeniumdiolates to yield biocompatible nitric oxide (NO) donor scaffolds. The minimum bactericidal concentrations and MICs of the NO donors against Pseudomonas aeruginosa were compared under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Differential antibacterial activities were primarily the result of NO scavenging by oxygen under aerobic environments and n...
متن کاملMycobacteriocidal action of exogenous nitric oxide.
We tested the hypothesis that exposure of extracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis to low concentrations (< 100 ppm) of nitric oxide (NO) for short periods (24 h or less) will result in microbial killing. We observed that NO had both dose- and time-dependent cidal effects that were very significant by two-way analysis of variance (F ratios of 13.4 [P < 0.001] and 98.1 [P < 0.0001], respectively...
متن کاملThe mode of action of aspirin-like drugs: effect on inducible nitric oxide synthase.
Nitric oxide synthesized by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) has been implicated as a mediator of inflammation in rheumatic and autoimmune diseases. We report that exposure of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated murine macrophages to therapeutic concentrations of aspirin (IC50 = 3 mM) and hydrocortisone (IC50 = 5 microM) inhibited the expression of iNOS and production of nitrite. In contrast, s...
متن کاملThe mode of antibacterial action of essential oils
The antimicrobial activity of essential oils and their components has been recognized for a very long time. Essential oils (EOs) are made from a very complex mixture of volatile molecules that are produced by the secondary metabolism of aromatic and medicinal plants and can be obtained by distillation of different parts of plants. The large number of studies on the antimicrobial activity of EOs...
