Bull Exp Biol Med. 2017 Aug;163(4):436-438. doi: 10.1007/s10517-017-3822-y. Epub 2017 Aug 29.

Abstract

We performed correction of endothelial dysfunction with phenol derivatives KUD-259 and KUD-974 containing heteroatomic and heterocyclic structures. Pharmacological activity of KUD-259 and KUD-974 surpassed that of L-norvaline, a non-selective arginase inhibitor.

Keywords: L-NAME; L-norvaline; arginase; modeled endothelial dysfunction; nitric oxide.
