The application discloses a magnesium alloy vascular stent material with a nitric oxide in-situ catalytic release coating and a preparation method thereof, and is mainly used for solving the problems of excessive hyperplasia and delayed endothelialization of the current magnesium alloy vascular stent. The lipoic acid-arginine coating with the in-situ catalytic release ability of nitric oxide is constructed on the surface of the pretreated magnesium alloy vascular stent material. The lipoic acid-arginine coating is closely adhered to the surface of the pretreated magnesium alloy stent based on the hydrogen bond effect. The fixed arginine in the coating serves as fuel for synthesizing nitric oxide. The endothelial cells generate nitric oxide in-situ through endothelial nitric oxide synthase. The lipoic acid serves as an endothelial nitric oxide synthase enhancer, increases the level of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase in the endothelial cells, and decomposes arginine into nitric oxide, so that the sufficient supply of in-situ nitric oxide is ensured. The coating significantly delays the degradation rate of the magnesium alloy stent, promotes the reconstruction of the natural endothelium, and prevents restenosis.

This invention provides methods for treating endothelial dysfunction by administering an effective amount of citrulline to a patient. The patients may be suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis, or infection by COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019); COVID-19 patients may be at risk of developing endothelial dysfunction, or they may be experiencing endothelial dysfunction. The effective amount of citrulline is sufficient to reduce the uncoupling of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) or to reduce the formation of free radicals. Citrulline may be administered orally; intravenously; or both orally and intravenously in a sequential manner. Sequential administration of citrulline may be in three phases, such as (a) an initial phase in which citrulline is administered orally, (b) an intermediate phase wherein citrulline is administered intravenously, and (c) a final phase wherein citrulline is administered orally. The intermediate phase may be while the patient's breathing is being assisted mechanically.
