title: New and potent inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase reduce motor activity in mice.
abstract: Potent inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), 3-bromo-7-nitro indazole, 1-(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)imidazole, S-methyl-L-thiocitrulline and 7-nitro indazole, reduced locomotion in mice. These results suggest that activity of NOS and corresponding NO release are of importance for normal locomotion.
