Modeling predicts facile release of nitrite but not nitric oxide from the thionitrate CH3SNO2 with relevance to nitroglycerin bioactivation
Abstract Nitroglycerin is a potent vasodilator in clinical use since the late 1800s. It functions as a prodrug that is bioactivated by formation of an enzyme-based thionitrate, E–Cys–NO2. This intermediate reportedly decomposes to release NO and NO2 − but their relative yields remain controversial....
