Abstract

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a life-threatening disease worldwide. Nitric oxide (NO) derived from l-arginine catalyzed by NO Synthase (NOS) is closely associated with IS. Three isomers of NOS (nNOS, eNOS and iNOS) produce different concentrations of NO, resulting in quite unlike effects during IS. Of them, n/iNOSs generate high levels of NO, detrimental to brain by causing nerve cell Apoptosis and/or necrosis, whereas eNOS releases small amounts of NO, beneficial to the brain via increasing cerebral blood flow and improving nerve function. As a result, a large variety of NO regulators (NO donors or n/iNOS inhibitors) have been developed for fighting IS. Regrettably, up to now, no review systematically introduces the progresses in this area. This article first outlines dynamic variation rule of NOS/NO in IS, subsequently highlights advances in NO regulators against IS, and finally presents perspectives based on concentration-, site- and timing-effects of NO production to promote this field forward.

Keywords

Dynamic variation rule of NOS/NO; Ischemic stroke; NO regulators; NO synthase (NOS); Nitric oxide (NO).
