Mechanism of Inhibition for N6022, a First-in-Class Drug Targeting S-Nitrosoglutathione Reductase
Louis S. Green, Lawrence E. Chun, Aaron K. Patton, Xicheng Sun, Gary J. Rosenthal, and Jane P. Richards

N6022 is a novel, first-in-class drug with potent inhibitory activity against S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR), an enzyme important in the metabolism of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and in the maintenance of nitric oxide (NO) homeostasis.

Inhibition of GSNOR by N6022 and related compounds has shown safety and efficacy in animal models of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and inflammatory bowel disease [Sun, X., et al. (2011) ACS Med. Chem. Lett. 2, 402–406]. N6022 is currently in early phase clinical studies in humans.
