Abstract:
In vivo effect of isothiourea derivatives on NO production was studied by the method of electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy with a spin trap. We evaluated the influence of these compounds on hemodynamic parameters in anesthetized rats with hypovolemic shock. A correlation was found between the size of S,N-substituents in isothiourea derivatives (methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl) and NO inhibitory activity of compounds. The antihypotensive effect was more pronounced in compounds with high NO inhibitory activity containing the isopropyl radical.

Blood Pressure Imbalances and Circulatory Shock
Blood Pressure: Hypertension and Hypotension
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure is 120-129/under 80 mm Hg. Hypertension, warranting treatment at 130/80 mm Hg, is often asymptomatic and can lead to severe cardiovascular events, aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, chronic renal disease, or cardiac...
