L-NIL is a potent and selective inhibitor of nitric oxide
synthase that exhibits about 28-fold greater selectivity for
inducible nitric oxide synthase (IC
50 = 3.3 µM)
than for the rat brain constitutive enzyme (IC
50
= 92 µM). It exhibits about 10-fold greater inhibitory
potency than NG-monomethyl-L-arginine in inhibiting
?-interferon-induced NO
2 - production (IC
50
= 460 nM). See NOS inhibitor kit (
00249).
