Hydrogen sulfide (H<sub>2</sub>S) is a naturally-<wbr></wbr>occurring gasotransmitter with vasodilator and inflammatory modulating activity. H<sub>2</sub>S is synthesized naturally in a range of mammalian tissues principally by the activity of two enzymes, cystathionine γ lyase (CSE) and cystathionine β synthetase (CBS). β-<wbr></wbr>cyano-<wbr></wbr>L-<wbr></wbr>Alanine (BCA) is a reversible inhibitor of the H<sub>2</sub>S-<wbr></wbr>synthesizing enzyme CSE. BCA blocks H<sub>2</sub>S synthesis in rat liver preparations with an IC<sub>50</sub> value of 6.5 µM and increases blood pressure in anaesthetized rats induced with hemorrhagic shock by inhibiting endogenous H<sub>2</sub>S synthesis. BCA at 50 mg/kg blocked both L-<wbr></wbr>cysteine-<wbr></wbr> and LPS-<wbr></wbr>induced hyperalgesia in rats.
