Inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase by acetamidine derivatives of hetero-substituted lysine and homolysine

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2000 Mar 20;10(6):597-600. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(00)00055-x.

Abstract

The synthesis and in vitro evaluation of the acetamidine derivatives of hetero-substituted lysine and homolysine analogues have identified potent inhibitors of human nitric oxide synthase enzymes, including examples with marked selectivity for the inducible isoform.
