Abstract

The effect of N-nitroxymethyl succinimide (1), N-(2-nitroxyethyl) succinimide (2) and N-(3-nitroxypropyl) succinimide (3) on enzymatic activity of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) phosphodiesterase was studied and crystal structure of compound (2) was determined. It was shown that all studied N-nitroxy succinimides inhibited cGMP phosphodiesterase in a concentration range of 0.1-0.001 mM. Compound (2) noncompetitively and reversibly inhibited hydrolytic function of enzyme with Ki=1.7×10-5 М. Inhibition constant for the reference compound N-(2-nitroethyl) nicotinamide (nicorandil) was 3×10-5 М.
