Abstract
Background: Cytochrome b5 reductase 3 (CYB5R3) regulates nitric oxide (NO) diffusion in the artery wall. Results: Novel CYB5R3 small molecule inhibitors were discovered that increase NO bioavailability. Conclusion: A potent new CYB5R3 inhibitor improves vascular function. Significance: These data provide a platform for further drug development and new tools for understanding CYB5R3 function.
