l nil dihydrochloride

L-NIL HCl is a relatively selective iNOS inhibitor (IC50s: 0.4-3.3, 8-38, and 17-92 µM for iNOS, eNOS, and nNOS). L-NIL effectively inhibits iNOS both in vitro and in vivo. L-NIL has been used to demonstrate a critical role for iNOS in the immune response

selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase

L-NIL is a selective nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) inhibitor that reverses burn-induced activation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β in rat skeletal muscle and may slow the progression of squamous cell carcinoma lung.
