31 lip 2023 · Nitroglycerin is a vasodilatory drug used primarily to provide relief from anginal chest pain. It is currently FDA approved for the acute relief of an attack or acute prophylaxis of angina pectoris secondary to coronary artery disease.
9 lip 2022 · Nitroglycerin, a fast-acting vasodilator, is commonly used as a first-line agent for angina in the emergency department and to manage chest pain due to acute coronary syndromes. It is also a treatment option for other disease states such as acute heart failure, pulmonary edema, and aortic dissection. Nitroglycerin is converted to nitric oxide ...

7 lis 2017 · The mitochondrial isoform of aldehyde dehydrogenase, ALDH-2, was found to be a key enzyme in the biotransformation of nitroglycerin via this pathway as it generates inorganic nitrite (NO 2 −) and 1,2-glyceryl dinitrate from nitroglycerin. There are three proposed mechanisms for the release of the vasoactive molecule via this pathway: nitrogen ...
7 lis 2017 · The use of nitroglycerin in the treatment of angina pectoris began not long after its original synthesis in 1847. Since then, the discovery of nitric oxide as a biological effector and better understanding of its roles in vasodilation, cell permeability, platelet function, inflammation, and other va ….
12 maj 2023 · Nitroglycerin (NTG) is a prodrug that has long been used in clinical practice for the treatment of angina pectoris. The biotransformation of NTG and subsequent release of nitric oxide (NO) is responsible for its vasodilatating property.
Nitroglycerin, also known as glyceryl trinitrate, 2 is an organic nitrate and a vasodilating agent 17 that was first discovered in 1847. 9 Originally used to dynamite, its antianginal effects were identified in the late 1860s after it produced headaches in factory workers while workers with angina pectoris or heart failure experienced relief ...
