INHIBITION OF LPS-INDUCED p38 ACTIVATION AND iNOS EXPRESSION BY 2-AMINO-3-METHYLIMIDAZO[4,5-f]QUINOLINE

Abstract

2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ), a heterocyclic amine, significantly inhibits nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages. The decrease in NO production was found to correlate well with a decrease in iNOS mRNA expression as demonstrated by Northern blot analysis.(omitted)
