A well‐known nitric oxide (NO)‐releasing compound, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), decreases in a dose‐dependent manner NO synthase (NOS) activity induced in rat neutrophils by treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This inhibitory action of SNP seems not to be due to its direct effect on the enzyme activity. The strong nitrosonium ion (NO+) character of SNP could be responsible for its inhibition of NOS induction in neutrophils. 1995 British Pharmacological Society

Abstract
A well‐known nitric oxide (NO)‐releasing compound, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), decreases in a dose‐dependent manner NO synthase (NOS) activity induced in rat neutrophils by treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This inhibitory action of SNP seems not to be due to its direct effect on the enzyme activity. The strong nitrosonium ion (NO+) character of SNP could be responsible for its inhibition of NOS induction in neutrophils. 1995 British Pharmacological Society
