Function

NOS2_MOUSE Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is a messenger molecule with diverse functions throughout the body. In macrophages, NO mediates tumoricidal and bactericidal actions. Also has nitrosylase activity and mediates cysteine S-nitrosylation of cytoplasmic target proteins such COX2.[1]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) has been implicated in various central and peripheral pathophysiological diseases. Our high throughput screening initially identified a weak inhibitor of iNOS, thiocoumarin 13. From this lead, a number of potent derivatives were prepared that demonstrate favorable potency, selectivity and kinetics. Compound 30 has an IC50 of 60 nM for mouse iNOS and 185-fold and 9-fold selectivity for bovine eNOS and rat nNOS, respectively. In cellular assays for iNOS, this compound has micromolar potency. Furthermore, two compounds (16 and 30) demonstrate a reasonable pharmacokinetic profile in rodents. The synthesis, SAR, and biological activity of this novel class of compounds is described.
