General description

A cell-permeable, irreversible endothelial nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. Inhibits iNOS in macrophages (IC50 = 5 nM). Shown to inhibit acetylcholine-induced relaxation of preconstricted rat thoracic aortic rings (IC50 = 180 nM). Blocks K+ and Ca2+ currents in arterial smooth muscle cells. Inhibitor of mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase. Inhibits other NADH utilizing flavoproteins, such as NADPH oxidase in human neutrophils and macrophages. Causes pressor and tachycardiac effects via indirect activation of the sympathetic nervous system.
