Description

General description

A cell-permeable, potent and selective inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO)-sensitive guanylyl cyclase (IC₅₀ = 20 nM). In incubated cerebellum slices, ODQ reversibly inhibits the NO-dependent cGMP response to glutamate receptor agonists without affecting NOS activity. It does not chemically inactivate NO; however, it does inhibit cGMP generation in response to NO donors. ODQ does not inhibit NO-mediated macrophage toxicity, a phenomenon unrelated to cGMP, nor does it affect the activity of particulate guanylyl cyclase or adenylyl cyclase.
