S-Methylisothiourea Sulfate (SMT) is a potent and selective inhibitor of NOS2 (iNOS). SMT has been shown to be a greater inhibitor of NOS2 in immunostimulated cultured macrophages and vascular muscle cells than other NOS inhibitors, including NG-methyl-L-arginine (MeArg). In the presence of SMT, there was a significant decrease in infarct volume, neuro-behavioral abnormality, brain edema, number of apoptotic cells in penumbra and NOx levels in plasma and brain of rats with transient focal cerebral ischemia.

What would be the IC50 for the other NOS isoforms (eNOS and nNOS)?

Asked by: Marli
Thank you for your question. IC50 values depend on the binding ability of the compound. Each isoform has a different electron configuration. Some configurations are more susceptible to binding.
