Novel inhibitors of neuronal nitric oxide synthase with potent antioxidant properties
摘要:
A series of hybrid compounds possessing an nNOS pharmacophore linked to an antioxidant fragment has been synthesized. Among them, compound 8d, a propofol derivative, displayed the greatest dual potencies against nNOS (IC50 = 0.12 muM) and lipid peroxidation (IC50 = 0.4 muM) accompanied with e/nNOS selectivity (67.5). This shows that nNOS was able to accommodate very bulky groups such as di-tert-butyl or di-iso-propyl phenol in its active site. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
