We investigated the effects of 7-nitroindazole (7-NI), a selective neuronal nitric oxide synthase inhibitor in vivo, on nitrite concentration after kainic acid injection unilaterally into the CA3 region of the rat hippocampus. The accumulation of nitrite, the stable metabolite of NO, was measured by the Griess reaction at different times in hippocampus, forebrain cortex, striatum, and cerebellum homogenates. 7-nitroindazole can effectively inhibit NO synthesis in rat brain after kainate-induced neurotoxicity and suppressed nitrite accumulation. The present results suggest that neuronal NO synthase inhibitors may be useful in the treatment of neurological diseases in which excitotoxic mechanisms play a role. <br><br><font color="red"><b> This article has been retracted.
