Abstract
Thalidomide shows moderate inhibitory activity toward neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and inducible NOS (iNOS), but not toward endothelial NOS (eNOS). Structural development studies of thalidomide yielded novel phenylhomophthalimide-type NOS inhibitors with enhanced activity and different subtype selectivity.
