6-Anilinoquinoline-5,8-quinone inhibits soluble guanylate cyclase and cGMP production. 6-Anilinoquinoline-5,8-quinone also blocks the release of intracellular Ca2+ and antigen-induced leukotrienes.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Blocks cGMP production; inhibits intracellular Ca2+ release; blocks the effects of nitric oxide. Inhibits antigen-induced leukotriene release.

1. The aim of this investigation was to study the relationship between contractile responsiveness, activation of the L-arginine pathway and tissue levels of guanosine 3':5'cyclic monophosphate (cylic GMP) in aortic rings removed from rats 4 h after intraperitoneal administration of
Microglia migrate rapidly to lesions in the central nervous system (CNS), presumably in response to chemoattractants including ATP released directly or indirectly by the injury. Previous work on the leech has shown that nitric oxide (NO), generated at the lesion

Our main objective was to test the efficacy of 6-anilino-5,8-quinolinedione (LY83583) in vivo, a putative inhibitor of cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) production. If the drug proved capable of lowering plasma, vascular, and kidney levels of cGMP and of inhibiting the
the aim of this study was to determine the relative importance of Ca(2+) sensitization, ion channels, and intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) in the mixed constrictor/relaxation actions of superoxide anion on systemic and pulmonary arteries. pulmonary and mesenteric arteries were obtained from
Nitrate assimilation in plants and related organisms is a highly regulated and conserved pathway in which the enzyme nitrate reductase (NR) occupies a central position. Although some progress has been made in understanding the regulation of the protein, transcriptional regulation
