The discovery of a novel class of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors, 2-substituted 1,2-dihydro-4-quinazo-linamines, and the related 4'-aminospiro[piperidine-4,2'(1'H)-quinazolin]-4'-amines is described. Members of both series exhibit nanomolar potency and high selectivity for the inducible isoform of the enzyme (i-NOS) relative to the constitutive isoforms in vitro. Efficacy in acute and chronic animal models of inflammatory disease following oral administration has also been demonstrated using these compounds.
