General description
3-Ethyl-3-(ethylaminoethyl)-1-hydroxy-2-oxo-1-triazene (NOC12) is a donor of nitric oxide (NO). It has a long half-life of 327 minutes.
Application
3-Ethyl-3-(ethylaminoethyl)-1-hydroxy-2-oxo-1-triazene has been used as nitric oxide (NO) donor to study its effects on the isolated trachea preparations from control and ovalbumin-sensitized guinea pigs in vitro. It has also been used as a NO-releasing substance to study its effects on the body contractions patterns of Tethya wilhelma.
Biochem/physiol Actions
3-Ethyl-3-(ethylaminoethyl)-1-hydroxy-2-oxo-1-triazene (NOC12) liberates nitric oxide (NO) without the use of cofactors or enzymes and the formation of hazardous metabolites. A low dose of NOC12 protects astrocytes from reperfusion injury via a cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signal. Higher dosages of NOC12 aggravates reperfusion damage through a cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-independent mechanism.
