QUICK LINKS

2,3-Diaminonaphthalene is an inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) formation. The relatively nonfluorescent DAN reacts rapidly with the NO-derived N-nitrosating agent(s) to yield the highly fluorescent product 2,3-naphthotriazole (NAT). Has been used to develop enhanced detection methods for nitric oxide (NO) in living cells and tissue culture systems required in the search for novel NO synthase (NOS) inhibitors.
