Aminopicoline
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Aminopicoline (Ascensil) is a potent and non-selective inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoenzymes (iNOS, nNOS, eNOS). Aminopicoline competes with arginine at the substrate-binding site of nitric oxide synthase, reduces cellular nitric oxide production, inhibits the elevation of plasma nitrate, increases mean arterial pressure at high doses, and also serves as a basis for radiolabeled ligands to localize nitric oxide synthase binding sites. Aminopicoline can be used in the research of diseases associated with septic shock, joint inflammation, intestinal inflammation, and CNS inflammation.

Aminopicoline (range of concentrations; 45-60 min at 37 °C) acts as a potent, nonselective, arginine-competitive inhibitor of human iNOS, nNOS, and eNOS, with IC50 values ranging from 50 to 62 nM, and a Ki value of 76 nM for human iNOS[1].
3H]aminopicoline (range of concentrations; 45-60 min at 37 °C) binds with high, nonselective affinity to human iNOS, nNOS, and eNOS, with Kd values of 59, 111, and 136 nM, respectively, and binding is independent of NADPH presence[1].
Aminopicoline (range of concentrations; 45-60 min at 37 °C) competitively inhibits binding of [3H]aminopicoline to human iNOS, nNOS, and eNOS, with Ki values of 55, 65, and 98 nM, respectively, consistent with saturation binding results[1].
Aminopicoline (1-1000 nM; 60 min at 30 °C during enzyme activity assay) potently inhibits murine NOS II with an IC50 of 6 nM, with reduced potency against recombinant human NOS II (IC50 = 40 nM) and recombinant human NOS I and NOS III (IC50 = 100 nM), via a competitive mechanism with L-arginine[2].
Aminopicoline (0.3-10 μM; 20 h, simultaneous addition with LPS/interferon-γ) inhibits nitrite production in LPS/interferon-γ-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells with an IC50 of 1.5 ± 0.3 μM by directly inhibiting NOS II catalytic activity without affecting NOS II protein induction or arginine uptake, with potency reduced by increased extracellular arginine concentrations[2].
