Description
N6022 (1208315-24-5) is a potent and reversible inhibitor of S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) – IC50?= 20 nM1, 8 nM2. It demonstrated significant efficacy in mouse models of ovalbumin-induced asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and irritable bowel syndrome. N6022 was able to attenuate experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (an animal model of multiple sclerosis)?via?selective inhibition of pro-inflammatory CD4+?cells (TH1/TH17) while upregulating anti-inflammatory subsets of CD4+?cells (TH2/Treg) without causing lymphopenia.3
Uses
N6022 is a tight-binding, specific, and fully reversible inhibitor of S-nitrosoglutathione reductase.
