Possible Interaction: Acetylcysteine and Asymmetric Dimethylarginine

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Furthermore, AGEs decreased messenger RNA (mRNA) level of dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH)-II, an enzyme for ADMA degradation, reduced its total enzymatic activity and resultantly increased ADMA , all of which were completely blocked by an antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine.

Preincubation of N-acetylcysteine or pifithrin alpha p-nitro significantly inhibited SA-β-gal activity induced by IS and ADMA in HUVECs.

Compared with hemodialysis alone, NAC had a greater lowering effect on the ADMA level (21.3 vs. 31.9%, p < 0.05).

ADMA markedly upregulated ICAM-1 expression in BRCECs, which were downregulated by telmisartan, DPI, and NAC.
The increased ROS production induced by ADMA was markedly inhibited by the angiotensin II receptor-blocker telmisartan, the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor benazepril, the reduced form of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase inhibitor diphenyliodonium (DPI), or the antioxidant and free-radical scavenger N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC).
