| Targets |
2-Iminobiotin is a competitive inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms.
Murine inducible NOS (iNOS): Ki = 21.8 ± 2.9 μM. Rat neuronal constitutive NOS (n-cNOS): Ki = 37.5 ± 1.7 μM. [1] |

| ln Vitro |
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels rise in response to hypoxia; however, this effect is reversed when low concentrations of 2-iminobiotin (2-IB; 10 ng/mL and 30 ng/mL) are applied on top of hypothermia. No distinction[1].
2-Iminobiotin reversibly inhibits both murine iNOS and rat n-cNOS in a concentration-dependent manner, as measured by L-citrulline formation from L-arginine. Inhibition is fully protected by saturating concentrations of substrate L-Arg, indicating competitive binding at or near the L-Arg binding site. The compound does not serve as an alternate substrate for NOS, as no nitrite production was detected after incubation with iNOS. 2-Iminobiotin does not inhibit the diaphorase activity of iNOS or n-cNOS. Biotin, 2-thiobiotin, diaminobiotin, and desthiobiotin do not inhibit NOS even at 500 μM, indicating the guanidino group is essential for inhibitory activity. Carboxy derivatives of 2-iminobiotin (e.g., hydrazide, N-hydroxysuccinimide ester) also inhibit iNOS, suggesting the free carboxyl group is not required for binding. [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
NOS activity was measured using two methods: (1) a colorimetric Griess assay to detect nitrite formation, and (2) a radiometric HPLC assay to monitor conversion of L-[³H]Arg to L-[³H]Cit.
For the radiometric assay, incubations contained partially purified NOS, cofactors (FAD, FMN, BH₄, NADPH, DTT), and L-[³H]Arg in TES buffer at pH 7.5. Reactions were quenched with citrate buffer and analyzed by HPLC. Inhibition studies involved preincubating enzyme with inhibitor before adding substrate, or adding inhibitor directly to the assay mixture. Kinetic parameters (Ki) were determined using Dixon plots from initial velocity data at substrate concentrations below Km. Time-dependent inhibition was assessed by fitting progress curves to a first-order exponential decay model. [1] |

Drug Indication
Treatment of perinatal asphyxia 2-Iminobiotin shares structural similarities with L-arginine, both containing a guanidine group, which may enable it to competitively bind to the active site of NOS. Its bicyclic structure can serve as a template for designing more effective and selective NOS inhibitors. 2-Iminobiotin immobilized on agarose has been tested as an affinity resin for NOS purification, but initial attempts were unsuccessful. This compound is known to be used as an affinity reagent for avidin purification. [1] |

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).
