  3. nor-NOHA

nor-NOHA is a selective and reversible arginase inhibitor. nor-NOHA induces apoptosis in ARG2-expressing cells under hypoxia. nor-NOHA has anti-leukemic activity. nor-NOHA can used in study of endothelial dysfunction, immunosuppression and metabolism.

It is advisable to consider the salt form (nor-NOHA dihydrochloride) that retains the same biological activity.

    Description

    nor-NOHA is a selective and reversible arginase inhibitor. nor-NOHA induces apoptosis in ARG2-expressing cells under hypoxia. nor-NOHA has anti-leukemic activity. nor-NOHA can used in study of endothelial dysfunction, immunosuppression and metabolism[1][2].

    In Vitro

    nor-NOHA (0.1-1 mM, 72 h) induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner under hypoxia (1.5% O2) in K562 cells[1]. nor-NOHA (1 mM, 72 h) attenuates hypoxia-mediated resistance towards imatinib in K562 or KCL22 cells[1].

    In Vivo

    nor-NOHA (100 mg/kg, i.v., once time) induces a significant reduction of infarct size in male Sprague-Dawley rats[2]. nor-NOHA (100 mg/kg, i.v., once time) increases plasma citrulline and nitrite levels and decreases the ornithine plasma levels in male Sprague-Dawley rats[2].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
