Application

L-N6-(1-Iminoethyl)lysine dihydrochloride has been used as an inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) inhibitor:
  • to study its effects on leptin-induced modulation of fibronectin type III domain-containing five (FNDC5)/irisin in myocytes and fat cells of murine
  • to study its effects on leptin-induced inflammation in hepatocytes
  • to block the production of nitric oxide in mice bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS).

iNOS deficiency in ob/ob mice improved liver inflammation and ECM remodeling-related genes, decreasing fibrosis, and metabolic dysfunction. The activation of iNOS by leptin is necessary for the synthesis and secretion of TNC in hepatocytes, suggesting an important role of this

L-N6-(1-Iminoethyl)lysine (L-NIL) has been synthesized and is shown to be both a potent and selective inhibitor of mouse inducible nitric oxide synthase (miNOS). L-NIL has an IC50 of 3.3 microM for miNOS compared to an IC50 of 92 microM for

The bone marrow stroma constitutes the marrow-blood barrier, which sustains immunochemical homoeostasis and protection of the haematopoietic tissue in sequelae of systemic bacterial infections. Under these conditions, the bone marrow stromal cells affected by circulating bacterial pathogens shall elicit the
