Product Description

Description: L-NIL is a selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) (IC50 = 3.3 μM for miNOS) with anti-inflammatory activity. L-NIL has an IC50 of 3.3 microM for miNOS compared to an IC50 of 92 microM for rat brain constitutive NOS indicating that L-NIL is 28-fold more selective for inducible NOS. L-N5-(1-Iminoethyl)ornithine (L-NIO), which differs from L-NIL by having one less methylene group, has very similar potency for inducible NOS, but lacks selectivity. DL-N7-(1-Iminoethyl)homolysine was also synthesized and found to be substantially less potent than L-NIL or L-NIO, with intermediate selectivity for inducible NOS. These data suggest that L-NIL may be useful as a selective inhibitor of inducible NOS for determining the role of this enzyme in disease models.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Both rat brain constitutive NOS (rcNOS) and mouse inducible NOS (miNOS) were inhibited concentration-dependently by L-NIL, with rcNOS being considerably more potent than miNOS. L-NIL was 28 times more selective for miNOS than rcNOS, as seen by its IC50 values of 3.3 and 92 pM with miNOS and rcNOS, respectively. Furthermore, L-NIL has a potency against miNOS that is about six times greater than that of L-NMA or L-NNA [3].
ln Vivo
In mouse kidneys, L-NIL (10 and 30 mg/kg, IP) inhibits oxidative damage, autophagy, and inflammation brought on by IR [1].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Adult male Balb/c (20-25 g)[1].
Doses: 10 and 30 mg/kg.
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneally at the end of CLP and at 6 h after sepsis induction.
Experimental Results: Led to a negligible increase in plasma NGAL compared to sham mice. Led to a significant decrease in both TLR4 and IL1β protein contents and clusterin transcript. demonstrated an increase in NFAT5 mRNA levels, as compared with mice treated with vehicle. Promoted a decrease in AR protein expression, as compared with animals treated with vehicle.

Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 5.3407 mL 26.7037 mL 53.4074 mL
5 mM 1.0681 mL 5.3407 mL 10.6815 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box

Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
