NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) have been widely used to inhibit constitutive NO synthase (NOS) in different biological systems. L-NAME commonly used for the induction of NO-deficient hypertension[1].
Freshly dissolved L-NAME was a 50 fold less potent inhibitor of purified brain NOS (mean IC50 = 70 μM) than L-NOARG (IC50 = 1.4 μM), but the apparent inhibitory potency of L-NAME approached that of L-NOARG upon prolonged incubation at neutral or alkaline pH. HPLC analyses revealed that NOS inhibition by L-NAME closely correlated with hydrolysis of the drug to L-NOARG[1].
IL-NAME and the related compound L-NA (100 μM) constricted pressurized vessels (Sprague–Dawley rats) with myogenic tone. Removal of the endothelium did not cause constriction or alter myogenic tone, however the constrictor effect of L-NAME persisted. The constrictor effect of L-NAME was abolished by L-arginine (1 mM)[2].
