The NO-generating abilities of aromatic N-nitroso compounds (nitrosoureas, nitrosamides and nitrosamines), and N-acetyl-S-nitroso-DL-penicillamine at ambient temperature were compared by employing the Griess reaction. 3, 3-Dibenzyl-1-(4-tolyl)-1-nitrosourea showed the greatest NO-generating ability among the tested compounds. The NO-generating ability of the aromatic N-nitrosoureas and the N-nitrosamides was greater than that of the N-nitrosamines, presumably reflecting differences in electrostatic repulsion between the carbonyl oxygen and nitroso oxygen in these compounds. In addition, a conjugative effect between the aromatic ring carbon and neighboring nitrogen influences the NO-generating ability; the conjugative effect in the case of N-nitrosoureas and N-nitrosamides having an ortho-alkyl substituted aromatic ring, or N-nitrosamines having a bulky N-group, such as tert-butyl, is decreased by an increase in steric hindrance around the nitroso group. The N-NO bond then becomes more stable. The NO-generating ability was related to the reciprocal of the ID50 value for growth inhibition of cultured L-5178 Y cells by the aromatic N-nitroso compounds. On the other hand, NO production from the aliphatic N-nitroso compounds was not observed under our conditions, and these N-nitroso compounds did not show effective cytotoxic activity.
