The cofactor requirements of macrophage nitric oxide (NO·) synthase suggest involvement of an NADPH‐dependent flavoprotein. This prompted us to test the effect of the flavoprotein inhibitors diphenyleneiodonium (DPI), di‐2‐thienyliodonium (DTI), and iodoniumdiphenyl (ID) on the NO· synthases of macrophages and endothelium. DPI, DTI, and ID completely inhibited NO· synthesis by mouse macrophages, their lysates, and partially purified macrophage NO· synthase. Inhibition of NO· synthase by these…

Inhibition of nitric oxide formation and superoxide generation during reduction of LY83583 by neuronal nitric oxide synthase.

Combined inhibition of indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase and nitric oxide synthase modulates neurotoxin release by interferon‐γ‐activated macrophages

The findings suggest that activated macrophages release large amounts of neurotoxic molecules and that norharmane may represent a prototype compound to study macrophage involvement in inflammatory brain damage.

Modulation of nitric oxide synthase activity in macrophages

The known and proposed mechanisms of the regulation of iNOS induction, and on agents that can modulate NO release once the active enzyme has been expressed in the macrophage are focused on.

Pterins inhibit nitric oxide synthase activity in rat alveolar macrophages

Since the pterins BH4 and l‐sepiapterin blocked the l‐arginine dependent production of nitrite and citrulline, the activity of nitric oxide synthase in phagocytic cells may be regulated by metabolic endproducts of the de novo biosynthesis of BH 4.

Regulation of the L-arginine-dependent and tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent biosynthesis of nitric oxide in murine macrophages.

Inhibitors of tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthesis could provide a novel approach for therapy of pathological conditions mediated by nitric oxide, such as septic shock, in murine macrophages.

Inhibition of tumor cell ribonucleotide reductase by macrophage-derived nitric oxide

No gas and lysates of activated macrophages that generated comparable amounts of NO led to the same degree of inhibition of partially purified RR from L1210 mouse lymphoma cells, suggesting that cytostasis by activated Macrophages and by hydroxyurea has comparable mechanisms, including, but probably not limited to, inhibition of RR.

Induction of nitric oxide synthase is a necessary precondition for expression of tumor necrosis factor-independent tumoricidal activity by activated macrophages.

FAD and GSH participate in macrophage synthesis of nitric oxide.

Macrophage oxidation of L-arginine to nitrite and nitrate: nitric oxide is an intermediate.

L-Arginine is required for the activation of macrophages to the bactericidal/tumoricidal state and suggests that nitric oxide is serving as an intracellular signal for this activation process in a manner similar to that very recently observed in endothelial cells, where nitrics oxide leads to vascular smooth muscle relaxation.

The inhibition by diphenyleneiodonium and its analogues of superoxide generation by macrophages.

Its sensitivity to DPI suggests that selective prevention of radical generation by macrophages in vivo is possible, and the O2(.-)-generating oxid enzyme appears to have components in common with the NADPH oxidase of neutrophils, despite differences in activity.
