Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent intra- and intercellular messenger involved in the control of vascular tone, neuronal signalling and host response to infection. In mammals, NO is synthesized by oxidation of l-arginine catalysed by hemeproteins called NO-synthases with intermediate

The electrochemical properties of a series of N-substituted-N'-hydroxyguanidines were studied. Two oxidation potentials of each compound were obtained by cyclic voltammetry. The E(ox1) values were from 0.51 to 0.62V, while the E(ox2) values were from 1.14 to 1.81V in acetonitrile

Microsomal cytochromes P450 and tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) free-NOS II catalyze the oxidation of N-hydroxyguanidines by NADPH and O2 with formation of nitrogen oxides including NO. These reactions are not selective in terms of substrates, as they occur on most N-hydroxyguanidines, and

The oxidative denitrification of the antitumour agent hydroxyguanidine (HOG) has been investigated by radiolysis methods and EPR spectroscopy. The azide radical (N3.), a model one-electron oxidant, reacts with HOG with the rate constant 5.1 x 10(9) dm3 mol(-1) s(-1) to

The interaction of various N-alkyl- and N-aryl-N'-hydroxyguanidines with recombinant NOS containing or not containing tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)) was studied by visible, electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy. N-Hydroxyguanidines interact with the oxygenase domain of BH(4)-free inducible NOS (BH(4)-free
