The Pros And Cons Of DEA-Nonoate

Satisfactory Essays

DEA·NONOate has been used as NO donor [1]. Nitric oxide (NO) acts as a messenger molecule produced by the NO synthase (NOS) isoforms neuronal NOS (nNOS, or NOS1), inducible NOS (iNOS, or NOS2), and endothelial NOS (eNOS, or NOS3). NO has been involved in relaxing smooth muscle, inhibiting smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation, and decreasing platelet adherence and aggregation. NO also inhibits vascular inflammation [1]. In human aortic endothelial cells, pretreatment with a rapidly releasing NO donor DEA-NONOate for 10 min inhibited thrombin induced vWF release. In recombinant NSF, DEA-NONOate did not significantly inhibit NSF hydrolysis of ATP. In the presence of NSF and ATP, the SNARE complex sedimented at 7S, and the SNARE complex
