We have investigated various nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitors for their affinity and selectivity toward the three human isoenzymes in radioligand binding experiments. Therefore, we developed the new radioligand [(3)H]2-amino-4-picoline to measure binding of these compounds to the three human

4-Methyl-2-aminopyridine (4M2AP) increased responses of isolated rat diaphragm and chick biventer cervicis nerve-muscle preparations to nerve stimulation but depressed responses to direct stimulation. Responses to acetylcholine were also increased while responses to carbachol were depressed. When tested after inhibition of
