This book discusses both the beneficial and harmful aspects of NO in biology and medicine and
also introduces the emerging discovery of artemisinin in antitumor antibacterial infection
anti-inflammation and antiaging contexts. In 1992 nitric oxide (NO) was voted Molecule of the
Year by Science magazine and the discovery of its physiological roles has led to Nobel
Prize-winning work in neuroscience physiology and immunology. The book explains why we should
maintain a steady-state NO level that is derived from neuronal or epithelial NO synthase and
avoid the extremely high NO level resulting from inducible NO synthase. The book offers a
valuable resource for medical chemists clinicians biologists and all those interested in
health and disease.
