摘要
Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761 was found to be a scavenger of nitric oxide in in vitro acellular systems, under physiological conditions. EGb 761 competed with oxyhemoglobin for reaction with nitric oxide generated during the interaction Complex I of catalase. An EGb 761 dose-dependent decrease formed in the reaction of oxygen with nitric oxide produced from nitroprusside was also observed. These data implicate it as a potential therapeutic conditions of altered production of nitric oxide. (C) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
