Dihydroquinolines as novel n-NOS inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2002 Sep 16;12(18):2561-4. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(02)00481-x.

Abstract

Dihydroquinolines have been synthesized and have been shown to be potent n-NOS inhibitors. Selectivity versus e-NOS was increased to approximately 100-fold through appropriate substitution at the benzene ring.
