The inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) by ebselen, 2-phenyl-1,2-benzisoselenazole-3(2H)-one, was reversed by the addition of 10(-5) M dithiothreitol, suggesting that ebselen reacts with a critical thiol group of NOS in the inhibitory mechanism. In the presence of 10(-4) to 10(-3)M dithiothreitol, ebselen dose-dependently enhanced NOS activity, implicating another interaction of ebselen with NOS under these conditions. Thus, the effect of ebselen on the NOS activity is modified by thiols.
依布硒啉(2-苯基-1,2-苯并异硒唑-3(2H)-酮)对一氧化氮合酶(NOS)的抑制作用可通过添加10⁻⁵M二硫苏糖醇而逆转,这表明依布硒啉在抑制机制中与NOS的一个关键巯基发生反应。在存在10⁻⁴至10⁻³M二硫苏糖醇的情况下,依布硒啉剂量依赖性地增强NOS活性,这意味着在这些条件下依布硒啉与NOS存在另一种相互作用。因此,巯基可改变依布硒啉对NOS活性的影响。
