Nω-Propyl-L-arginine_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	Nω-Propyl-L-arginine (N-omega-Propyl-L-arginine) is a potent, competitive, and highly selective inhibitor of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), with a Ki of 57 nM. Nω-Propyl-L-arginine displays a 149-fold selectivity for nNOS over endothelial NOS (eNOS)[1][2].
In Vivo	Nω-Propyl-L-arginine (N-omega-Propyl-L-arginine) (20 mg/kg; i.p.) blocks both phencyclidine-induced disruption of prepulse inhibition and phencyclidine-induced stimulation of locomotor activity[2]. Animal Model:
Name	Nω-Propyl-L-arginine
CAS	137361-05-8
Formula	C9H20N4O2
Molar Mass	216.28
Transport	Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
Storage	Please store the product under the recommended conditions in the Certificate of Analysis.
