Product Data
Biological target:
nor-NOHA acetate (Nω-Hydroxy-nor-L-arginine acetate) is a specific and reversible arginase inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
This study therefore explored if the clinically-tested arginase inhibitor Nω-hydroxy-nor-arginine (nor-NOHA) would be effective against leukemic cells under hypoxic conditions. Remarkably, nor-NOHA effectively induced apoptosis in ARG2-expressing cells under hypoxia but not normoxia. Co-treatment with nor-NOHA overcame hypoxia-mediated resistance towards BCR-ABL1 kinase inhibitors. Reference: PLoS One. 2018 Oct 11;13(10):e0205254. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30307989/
In vivo activity:
AIA (adjuvant-induced arthritis) rats were treated with nor-NOHA (40 mg/kg/d, ip) for 21 days after the onset of arthritis. Nor-NOHA treatment fully restored the aortic response to Ach to that of healthy controls. The results showed that this beneficial effect is mediated by an increase in NOS activity and EDHF and reduced superoxide anion production as well as a decrease in the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, thromboxane and prostacyclins synthases. In addition, nor-NOHA decreased IL-6 and VEGF plasma levels in AIA rats. By contrast, the treatment did not modify arthritis severity in AIA rats.
