Description: 1400W dihydrochloride (N-(3-(Aminomethyl)benzyl)acetamidine) is a highly effective and specific inhibitor of inducible NOS2 (iNOS). Target: NO Synthase, NOS. Smiles: Cl.Cl.CC(=N)NCc1cccc(CN)c1. References: Garvey EP, et al. J Biol Chem. 199, 272(8):4959-63.

1400W is a potent, selective inhibitor of iNOS. Using purified human iNOS, nNOS, and eNOS, 1400W exhibits Ki values of 7 nM, 2 µM, and 50 µM, respectively. In rat aortic rings it is at least 1,000-fold more potent against iNOS compared to eNOS. In mice bearing a murine mammary carcinoma, continuous infusion of 1400W...
