Potential of inInhibiting Nitric Oxide Synthase.

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Inflammation occurs <i>via</i> several mechanisms, one of which includes the production of Nitric Oxide (NO) catalyzed by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), which is inhibited selectively by isothioureas. <i>Ageratum conyzoides</i> L. has shown activity in reducing pain and inflammation, although the molecular mechanism had not been undertaken.
