Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

L-NIL HCl is a relatively selective inhibitor of iNOS. It exhibits IC50 values of 0.4-3.3 µM for iNOS as opposed to 8-38 and 17-92 µM for eNOS and nNOS, respectively. L-NIL effectively inhibits iNOS both in vitro and in vivo.4,5,3 L-NIL has been used to demonstrate a critical role for iNOS in the immune response to infection by the protozoan L. major.

Product Data
Biological target:
L-NIL dihydrochloride is an inducible NO synthase inhibitor, with an IC50 of 3.3 μM for miNOS.
In vitro activity:
Further, elevated O-GlcNAc acted on Il-6 expression through the iNOS pathway, as iNOS inhibitior L-NIL raised wildtype Il-6 expression similar to OGA deficient cells but had no further effect on the hyper-O-GlcNAcylated cells. Reference: Front Immunol. 2022 Apr 1;13:802336. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35432339/
In vivo activity:
Mice were divided into normal control (NC), sham, sepsis saline (SS), and sepsis Arg (SA) groups. In order to investigate the role of NO, L-N6-(1-iminoethyl)-lysine hydrochloride (L-NIL), an inducible NO synthase inhibitor, was administered to the sepsis groups. Changes in plasma NO and renal NLRP3 inflammasome-related protein expression were abrogated when L-NIL was given to the Arg sepsis groups. Arg plus L-NIL administration also attenuated kidney injury after CLP. Reference: Mediators Inflamm. 2020 May 11;2020:3201635. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32454788/
