摘要:
Heteroalicyclic carboxamidines were synthesised and evaluated as inhibitors of nitric oxide synthases. (2R)-2-Pyrrolidinecarboxamidine, in particular, was shown to be a highly potent in vitro (IC(50) = 0.12 mu M) and selective iNOS inhibitor (> 100-fold vs both eNOS and nNOS), with probable binding to the key anchoring glutamate residue and co-ordination to the haem iron.
