Each value represents the mean ± SD (n = 3).

a

Percentage of NO released relative to a theoretical maximum release of 1 mol NO/mol of test compound; determined by Griess reagent in the presence of 5 mM l-cysteine, at pH 7.4.

b

The concentration required for a 50% inhibition in the optical density of PNP (p-nitrophenol) at 405 nm relative to DMSO. IC50 values were calculated from the dose inhibition curve.

c

The concentration required for a 50% inhibition of the fluorescence intensity of AGE relative to 0.1% DMSO, IC50 values were calculated from the dose inhibition curve.

d

The concentration required for a 50% inhibition of the decrease in the optical density of NADPH at 340 nm relative to DMSO. IC50 values were calculated from the dose inhibition curve.

**

p < .01 significantly different ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s t-test for comparison with standard.
