title: Nitric oxide release from coumarin-7-azomethine derivatives in the presence of thiol.
abstract: A series of coumarin derivatives containing a 7-azomethine linkage with anti-inflammatory activity were tested for nitric oxide release in the presence of thiol cofactors in vitro. It was found that nitric oxide release was dependent on the nature of thiol.
