S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) is a Class III alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) that represents a novel therapeutic target in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). GSNOR may contribute to IBD through dysregulated activity and thus altered metabolism of its substrate, S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), an abundant low molecular weight S-nitrosothiol (SNO).

GSNO serves as a reservoir for nitric oxide (NO), exerts potent anti-inflammatory actions, and maintains epithelial barrier functions in the gut. These studies determined the efficacy of small molecule inhibitors of GSNOR (N6022 and N6547; Table 1) in mouse models of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) colitis. More…poster PDF(787Kb)
