Nitric oxide (NO) scavenger
- Highly pure NO scavenger
Carboxy-PTIO is a water-soluble and stable nitric oxide radical scavenger that shows in chemical and biological systems antagonistic action against the free nitric oxide radical (NO·) in a stoichiometric manner. The inhibitory effects are almost two-fold stronger than those of NMMA (Prod. No. ALX-106-001) and NOARG (Prod. No. ALX-105-001). Carboxy-PTIO can be used for an improved detection of nitric oxide in activated macrophage cultures in combination with the Griess reagent (Prod. No. ALX-400-004). Carboxy-PTIO also protects against endotoxin shock.
