Popis: | SUMMARY Aims and Methods: To determine the effect of aminosalicylic acid derivatives on the concentration of nitric oxide produced in a cell-free system, by the use of a sensitive and specific polarographic meter. Results: The aminosalicylic acid derivatives 3-ASA (IC50 100 μm), 4-ASA (IC50 350 μm) and 5-ASA (IC50 5 μm) all decreased the nitric oxide signal. These drugs had a similar inhibitory effect on the formation in vitro of nitrite from sodium nitroprusside (IC50 200 μm, 500 μm and 100 μm, respectively). Sulphasalazine (31.1 ± 5% decrease in signal at 1 mm) was less effective than 5-ASA, but sulphapyridine, N-acetyl 5-ASA, indomethacin and hydrocortisone produced no decrease in nitric oxide signal at all. Conclusions: Nitric oxide binding may be part of the mechanism by which ASA derivatives exert their therapeutic effect, and this work suggests that it may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis. |
