GEA 3162 hydrochloride 

GEA 3162 hydrochloride is an orally active compound that acts as a NO/ONOO⁻ donor. GEA 3162 hydrochloride significantly inhibits the activation of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) through the cGMP pathway, inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators, and exerts anti-inflammatory and protective effects. GEA 3162 hydrochloride induces apoptosis of neutrophils and bone marrow cells by activating caspase-2/3/8/9 through the ONOO⁻ pathway. GEA 3162 hydrochloride has a bidirectional effect in the rat gastric ulcer model: at low doses, it significantly reduces gastric mucosal damage, while at high doses, it aggravates the ulcer area. GEA 3162 hydrochloride can be used for research on inflammatory conditions such as gastric ulcers^[1][2][3][4].
