Twelve thienyl/furanyl-hydroxyphenylpropenones were systematically designed and synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory effect on LPS-induced ROS and NO production in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Compound 11 displayed the most significant inhibitory activity of LPS-induced ROS and NO production in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Structure-activity relationship study indicated that para-hydroxyphenyl moiety plays an important role for inhibitory activities on both LPS-induced ROS and NO production as well as 3-thienyl moiety on molecule.

본 연구에서는 시중에 유통되는 생약 10종 (금전초, 목천료, 냉초, 현초, 계심, 진피, 율초, 구절초, 총백, 고량강)을 무작위로 선정하여 생약의 생리활성 효과를 스크리닝하였다. 각 생약을 70% 에탄올로 추출한 다음 추출물의 마우스 대식세포에 대한 NO 생성 억제 효능을 확인한 결과, 구절초 추출물이 LPS에 의해 유도된 NO 생성을 억제하는 효과가 가장 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서, 구절초 70% ethanol 및 물 추출물에 대한 농도별 NO 생성 억제 효능을 측정하였다. 구절초 추출물은 두 용매 추출물 모두에서 대식세포의 NO 조절 효과가 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 70% ethanol 추출물의 고농도 (250 ㎍/mL) 처리군에서는 LPS에 의해 유도된 NO를 99% 이상 억제하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 구절초 70% ethanol 및 물 추출물이 인체 대동맥 평활근 세포주 HASMCs에서 TNF-α에 의한 부착인자의 발현 억제 효능을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 구절초의 70% ethanol 추출물 및 물 추출물이 TNF-α로 자극된 인체 대동맥평활근 세포주 HASMC에서 세포 부착 인자의 발현을 억제하였으며, 이 결과는 구절초가 혈관 염증을 조절할 수 있는 가능성을 제시한다. 본 연구 결과는 구절초의 항염증 및 혈관 염증 조절 기능 소재로서 개발을 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Effect of ethene on the $DeNO_X$ conversion process in a simulated diesel engine operating conditions was investigated experimentally and theoretically. With the addition of even a small amount of ethene the NO to $NO_2$ conversion enhances greatly. The energy required to convert one NO molecule is 27 eV with 250 ppm ethene added, while 137 eV without ethene at 473 K. The effect of energy density, temperature, and the initial concentrations of ethene and oxygen are also discussed and the results show that the increase of the mentioned parameters lead to the promotion of NO oxidation. A kinetic model used in this study shows good agreement with the experimental result. Byproducts like formaldehyde ($CH_2$ 0) and methyl nitrite ($CH_3$ ONO) predicted by model calculation are broken up into CO and $H_2O$ eventually when high energy is delivered to the gas mixture. Sensitivity analysis shows that the main reactions of NO oxidation when ethene is added we: $HO_2+ NO \arrow NO_2 + OH, RO_2 + NO \arrow NO_2 + RO$, where R is a hydrocarbon radical. Also the direct oxidizing reaction of NO with O cannot be neglected.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a critical biological mediator involved in numerous diseases. However, the short lifetime of this molecule in biological conditions can make its study in situ complicated. Here, we review some recent results on the role of NO in angiogenesis, obtained using a biocompatible microelectrode array. This simple system allowed for the quick and easy quantification of NO released from cells grown directly on the surface of the sensor. We have used this technology to demonstrate that angiogenin induces NO release, and to partially elucidate its intracellular transduction pathway.

The vibrational relaxation rate constants of NO(v = 1-7) by $O_2\;and\;N_2$ have been calculated in the temperature range of 300-1000 K using the solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation. The calculated relaxation rate constants by $O_2$ increase monotonically with the vibrational energy level v, which is compatible with the experimental data, while those by $N_2$ are nearly independent of v in the range of $3.40 {\pm}1.60{\times}10_{-16} cm^3$/molecule-sec at 300 K. Those for NO(v) + $N_2$ are about 2-3 orders of magnitude smaller than those for NO(v) + $O_2$, because the latter is an exothermic processes while the former an endothermic. Relaxation processes can be interpreted by single-quantum V-V transition. The contributions of V-T/R transition and double-quantum V-V transition to the relaxation are negligible over the entire temperature range.

Nitric oxide (NO) is known to work as an important signaling molecule involved in regulating a wide range of biological activities in the neuronal, vascular, and immune system. NO and its metabolites mediate a number of host defence functions and are also implicated in the pathogenesis of tissue damage associated with inflammation. Cyclohexylimminobenzoxathiol LYR-64 compound inhibited LPS-induced NO production in murine macrophages Raw264.7 with an IC50 value of 0.7 uM with 95.9% inhibition at 3 uM, 63.5% at 1 uM and 30.2% at 1 uM.

Objective : Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Labiatae) (SM), an eminent herbal plant, has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of vascular diseases such as hypertension. The aim of this study was to determine whether SM inhibits production of nitrite, an index of NO, and proinflammatory cytokines in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW 264.7 macrophages. And this study investigated whether or not SM could reduce tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$)-induced inflammatory response in human vascular aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC) and umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Methods : Cytotoxic activity of SM on RAW 264.7 cells was using 5-(3-caroboxymeth-oxy phenyJ)-2H-tetra-zolium inner salt (MTS) assay. We measured the NO production using Griess Reagent System. Production of Proliflammatory cytokines was measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Results : Our results indicated that SM significantly inhibited the LPS-induced NO production accompanied by an attenuation of tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$), IL-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 formation in macrophages. SM decreased TNF-${\alpha}$-induced IL-8, IL-6 production, and intracellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 expression. Conclusion : These results indicate that SM has potential as an anti-inflammatory agent.

In this study an experimental investigation has been conducted to remove NOx and SO$_2$simultaneously from a combustion flue gases were consisted of NO-SO$_2$-$CO_2$-$N_2$-O$_2$([NO]o:200ppm and [SO$_2$]o:800ppm) and the injection gases used as radical source gases were NH$_3$-Ar-air and CH$_4$-Ar-air. NOx and SO$_2$removal efficiency and the other by-products were measured by Fourier Transform Infrared(FTIR) as well as SO$_2$, NOx and NO$_2$gas detectors. and SEM images after sampling. The results showed that a significant Nucleating Particle Counter(CNPC) and SEM images after sampling. The results showed that a significant aerosol particle formation was observed during a simultaneous NOx and SO$_2$removal operation in corona radical shower systems. The diameter of aerosol particles was in the range of 0.18 to 3.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with a maximum fraction of particles at particles diameter of 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The NOx removal efficiency significantly increased with increasing applied voltage and NH$_3$molecule ratio. The SO$_2$removal efficiency was not significantly effected by applied voltage and slightly increased with increasing NH$_3$molecule ratio. It could be found that it is possible to use CH$_4$for NOx and SO$_2$removal by corona radical shower systems.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a simple combined molecule of oxygen and nitrogen, and has a wide variety of action on the physiological and pathophysiological function of the body. It is a key transducer of the vasodilator message from the endothelium to vascular cells. However, its different roles have been elucidated by numerous researches, which was undertaken in the 80's and 90's. Three types of NO synthase were involved in synthesizing NO and they are identified in different tissues and cells including macrophage, endothelial cells and even tumor cells. In the late 90's, we undertook a number of researches for elucidating the effect of NO on embryo development, since developmentally arrested bovine embryos contained large amount of NO metabolites in their cytoplasm. Subsequently, we found that the addition of a spontaneous NO donor to culture medium markedly inhibited embryo development and that its inhibitory role was independent of embryonic genome activation. Research was focused to find a way to prevent the inhibitory action of NO on embryo development and demonstrated that the addition of hemoglobin, a NO scavenger, to embryo culture medium greatly stimulated in vitro-development of bovine and mouse embryos. Based on these research outcomes, we developed a NO action-free culture system for embryos and other tissues. The efficacy of such system has subsequently been confirmed by achieving the high rates of preimplantation development and blastocyst formation in the NO action-free culture of mouse and bovine embryo. In this article, we briefly introduced the nature of NO and our research outcomes on the role of NO in embryo development.
