General description

A cell-permeable, irreversible endothelial nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. Inhibits iNOS in macrophages (IC50 = 5 nM). Shown to inhibit acetylcholine-induced relaxation of preconstricted rat thoracic aortic rings (IC50 = 180 nM). Blocks K+ and Ca2+ currents in arterial smooth muscle cells. Inhibitor of mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase. Inhibits other NADH utilizing flavoproteins, such as NADPH oxidase in human neutrophils and macrophages. Causes pressor and tachycardiac effects via indirect activation of the sympathetic nervous system.

Human neutrophils express two unique antibody receptors for IgG, the FcγRIIa and the FcγRIIIb. FcγRIIa contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) sequence within its cytoplasmic tail, which is important for initiating signaling. In contrast, FcγRIIIb is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked
