L-NIL is a potent and selective inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase that exhibits about 28-fold greater selectivity for inducible nitric oxide synthase (IC
50 = 3.3 M) than for the rat brain constitutive enzyme(IC
50 = 92 M). It exhibits about 10-fold greater inhibitory potency than NG-monomethyl-L-arginine in inhibiting interferon-induced NO
2- production (IC
50 = 460 nM). See NOS inhibitor kit.
