NO Detection Reagent
No.161(April 2014)
Nitric oxide (NO) is generated in the pathway converting L-arginine to L-citrulline via nitric oxide synthase (NOS). NO plays a biologically important role and has been demonstrated to be a mediator in cardiac and vascular diseases, inflammatory diseases, diabetes, cancer etc.1)
NO is oxidized to nitrite (NO2-) by molecular oxygen. Acidification of NO2- or interaction of NO with oxygen generates dinitrogen trioxide (N2O3). As shown in the figure, N2O3 reacts with 2,3-Diaminonaphthalene (DAN, 1) to yield 2,3-naphthotriazole (NAT).2) As NAT is highly fluorescent, 1 is applied to fluorometric detection of NO and numerous improved protocols have been reported.3-5) (Example of detection condition4): Ex. 365 nm, Em. 450 nm).
