Disease relevance of D-NAME

  • Catalytically active factor Xa induced hypotension in rats and vasorelaxation in the isolated rat mesentery, which was blocked by the NO synthase inhibitor L-N(G)-nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME) but not by D-NAME [1].
  • Both L-NAME (100 mg/kg IV, P < .05) and 7-NI (10 mg/kg IV, P < .05) caused an L-arginine (100 mg/kg IV, P < .01)-reversible inhibition of neurogenic edema as measured by 125I-albumin accumulation, whereas D-NAME (inactive enantiomer of L-NAME) and 6-aminoindazole (structurally similar to 7-NI) were without inhibitory effect [2].
  • To further investigate the mechanisms, postischemic skin hyperemia was measured before and after intradermal injection of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NAME and its inactive isoform D-NAME (0.5 micromol/10 microl each) [3].
  • No significant difference in bronchoalveolar lavage inflammatory cell profiles was noted between L-NAME- and D-NAME-treated mice with Klebsiella pneumonia [4].
  • Animals chronically treated with L-NAME (but not D-NAME) for 2 and 4 weeks developed hypertension to the same extent as 2K-1C rats [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on D-NAME

  • In the groups of rats pretreated with saline (n = 5), 100 mg/kg D-NAME (n = 6), 10 (n = 5) or 25 (n = 6) mg/kg L-NAME, this thermal injury induced a transient reduction in the reaction time that was 54-59% of the baseline value [6].
  • Following D-NAME administration, DA increased during copulation, while L-NAME prevented this increase [7].
  • Although cocaine increased locomotor activity, treatment with L- or D-NAME alone did not alter activity levels [8].
 

High impact information on D-NAME

  • L-NAME (but not D-NAME) significantly inhibited the eosinophil migration induced by both fMLP (54% reduction for 1.0 mM; P < 0.05) and LTB4 (61% reduction for 1.0 mM; P < 0.05) [9].
  • A parallel process of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent NADPH oxidation was observed which was also inhibited by L-NAME but not D-NAME [10].
  • In this model, the angiogenesis induced by PAF and TNF was inhibited by WEB 2170 and L-NAME but not by D-NAME [11].
  • The inhibition of endogenous NO formation by Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) (1 mmol/L) but not its inactive enantiomer D-NAME (1 mmol/L) inhibited endothelial cell sprouting from the scratched edge of the cultured bovine aortic endothelial cell monolayer [12].
  • L-NAME (5 mM) completely prevented the ET-1-induced reduction in J(Cl), whereas D-NAME did not [13].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of D-NAME

  • L-NAME dose-dependently inhibited 2-DG-induced eating in non-food-deprived rats, although the inactive isomer D-NAME on 2-DG-induced hyperphagia were inhibited by co-administration of L-arginine [14].
 

Biological context of D-NAME

  • The NO synthase inhibitor, N omega-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (L-NAME), but not its enantiomer D-NAME, prevented chemotaxis of endothelial cells induced in vitro by PAF and by TNF [11].
  • 4. High doses of L-NAME (37.5-600 mg kg-1) but not D-NAME (75 mg kg-1) administered i.p. produce dose-related increases in blood pressure of the urethane-anaesthetized mouse whilst i.c.v. injected L-NAME (0.1 and 100 microgram per mouse) in inactive [15].
  • D-NAME did not potentiate NANC bronchoconstriction [16].
  • The baroreflex sensitivity was also attenuated in these animals when compared with the normotensive control or D-NAME group [17].
  • Cardiac output was significantly higher in the D-NAME group than in the L-NAME group at 60 min [18].
 

Anatomical context of D-NAME

  • To study the role of NO in cardiac alterations induced by PAF, papillary muscles were pretreated with L-NAME or D-NAME and then challenged with PAF (0.1-1 microM) [19].
  • Similarly, cerebroventricular administration of another NOS inhibitor, N-omega-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME), but not D-NAME or saline, increased BDNF content in the neocortex [20].
  • L-NAME, but not D-NAME provided structural protection of photoreceptor cells from light damage [21].
  • In the reference memory task, neither L-NAME nor D-NAME affected the number of errors when injected into the hippocampus at doses up to 32 micrograms/side [22].
  • QL was measured continuously, and whole body and hindlimb VO2 were measured 60 and 120 min after L-NAME or D-NAME [18].
 

Associations of D-NAME with other chemical compounds

  • The stereoisomer, D-NAME, administered at the same doses had little to no effect on either formalin-induced licking or Fos-labeling [23].
  • 2. Intravenous infusion of the NO-synthase inhibitor N omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 0.25-50 mg kg-1, 45 min) dose-dependently reversed net fluid absorption to net secretion, whereas infusion of D-NAME, the inactive enantiomer of L-NAME, in corresponding doses did not influence net fluid transport [24].
  • Control rats received microinjection of D-NAME (an inactive enantiomer of L-NAME) [25].
  • D-NAME and D-NMMA and L-arginine had no effect on cholinergic neurotransmission. alpha-Chymotrypsin and L-NAME had no effect on excitatory NANC (e-NANC) neural responses in guinea-pig bronchi [26].
  • Males received either an NO synthesis inhibitor, nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 400 microM), or its inactive isomer D-NAME (400 microM) into the MPOA via a microdialysis probe for 3 h prior to the introduction of a female [7].
 

Gene context of D-NAME

  • Eight groups [Condition: Rest or Exercise; Drug: Saline, 30 mg kg(-1)N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), 300 mg kg(-1) L-NAME or 300 mg kg(-1) D-NAME] were used to determine the effect of NOS inhibition on the Flt-1 mRNA response to exercise [27].
  • However, L-NAME and D-NAME at 100 mg/kg attenuated GPx activity in the cerebellum, though 7-NI had no effect [28].
  • However, 7-NI (25 mg/kg), D-NAME and L-NAME at 100 mg/kg did not affect catalase activity in the rat brain [28].
  • L-NAME or its inactive enantiomer Nw-nitro-D-arginine methyl ester, D-NAME, were given continuously in the drinking water (1.0 g/L) during 14 days prior to the start of the treatment with bFGF [29].
  • The dilator action of rat CGRP-alpha in this preparation was not affected by L-NAME or D-NAME (40 microM).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[30]
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of D-NAME

  • Microinjections of L-NAME, but not of D-NAME, caused significant decreases in MAP (19 +/- 1 mmHg, P < 0.001) and in sympathetic nerve activity (30 +/- 3%, P < 0.001) [31].
  • The change in intestinal lavage fluid volume indicated that reabsorptive processes dominated in the sham and TNBS + L-NAME groups, and secretory responses predominated in TNBS and TNBS + D-NAME animals [32].
  • Intrahippocampal administration of the inactive isomer D-NAME at 100 micrograms/side immediately after reperfusion had no effect on the increase in working memory errors in the ischemic rats [33].
  • Three week old animals received daily intraperitoneal injections of L-NAME or D-NAME for 4 weeks, and the same drugs were added to their drinking water [21].
  • L-NAME, but not D-NAME, reduced the cutaneous hyperaemia caused by topical administration of mustard oil by about 50% but did not significantly diminish the exudative reaction to mustard oil [34].
