Description

S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) is an endogenous S-nitrosothiol that acts as a NO pool. The level of GSNO is tightly regulated by S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR), an enzyme that degrades GSNO. GSNOR inhibitors offer a potentially promising option for the management of pre-eclampsia, a cause of maternal death and of perinatal morbidity. The GSNO treatment of traumatic brain injury improved neurobehavioral functions. GSNO can increase the expression of certain proteins at concentrations present in the normal human airway. GSNO has an important role in regulating respiratory function (breathing) and preventing inflammation in the respiratory tract, that is why this compound participated in phase I clinical trials for patients with asthma. In addition, GSNO was studied in the cystic fibrosis airway. The obtained results have shown that GSNO replacement therapy could be an effective treatment. In addition, GSNO was investigated for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
