Inhibition of NO synthesis in RMC by Genistein and KT 5720

GenisteinKT5720
Interleukin-129.4 μm >5  μm  
CGP 282382.5 μm 0.82  μm 3-a
Forskolinn.d.1.25  μm 3-a

IC50-values for genistein and KT5720 on NO production in RMC were obtained by coincubating various concentrations of the inhibitors with the NOS inducers IL-1 (1 nm), CGP 28238 (100 μm), or the adenylate cyclase activator forskolin (5 μm) for 20 hr.

    • 3-a No 100% inhibition was obtained within the concentration range of 10 nm to 3 μm.

    • n.d., not done.
