7-NITRO indazole (7-NI) inhibits rat striatal, cerebellar, hippocampal, cerebral cortex and olfactory bulb nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in vitro with IC50 values of 0.68 +/- 0.01 mu M, 0.64 +/- 0.03 mu M, 1.53 +/- 0.05 mu M, 0.93 +/- 0.04 mu M and 1.05 +/- 0.02 mu M respectively (n = 6). Intraperitoneal (i.p.) or oral administration of 7-NI (30 mg kg(-1)) to rats inhibited NOS enzyme activity measured ex vivo in all five brain regions (n = 5-6). NOS inhibition (maximal effect, 0.5 h post-injection) was transient with complete recovery at either 4 h (oral administration) or 24 h (i.p. administration). Repeated i.p. injection of 7-NI (30 mg kg(-1), every 4 h for 20 h) inhibited NOS enzyme activity at 24 h by 51-61% in all brain regions. The relatively transient NOS inhibitory effect of 7-NI following parenteral administration should be taken into account when using this drug to evaluate the central effects of nitric oxide.
