Which NOX inhibitor is best, Apocyanin or VAS2870?

21 June 2019 1 5K Report

I am wondering which NOX inhbitor, Apocyanin or VAS2870, is better at targeting all NOX species? Any insight it helpful!

Faris T. Abachi

VAS2870 was used in general for NOX Inhibitor, while Apocyanin simple structure Apocynin was used to determine whether ionic activation due to proton flux across the membrane of renal medulla cells was coupled to NADPH oxidase production of superoxide.
