Esterification with nitric acid includes the industrially important reactions with glycerol to form glyceryl trinitrate (nitroglycerin), and with cellulose to form cellulose nitrate (nitrocellulose)... [Pg.279]

Glyceryl trinitrate is used in medicines for its effects on blood flow. Physicians use it as a coronary vasodilator for their heart patients. [Pg.59]

The transdermal permation of glyceryl trinitrate encapsulated in AOT-reversed micelles was compared with that of an aqueous solution, and an enhancement in permeation was found as well as the absence of skin irritation [161]. [Pg.488]

On the other hand, insufficient NO production also causes serious medical problems. Many diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis and restenosis involve a deficiency of NO production. Therefore, a compound that can release NO under specific conditions can be used therapeutically to palliate NO underproduction. In fact, the best known NO donor, glyceryl trinitrate, has been used for over a century to relieve acute attacks of angina pectoris. [Pg.16]

Benzofuroxans (2), benzodifuroxan (37), and benzotrifuroxan (38) are systems that have long been known [6-8,10,11]. Early studies showed that 37 is a potent in vivo and in vitro vasodilator, as are its furazanobenzofuroxan and thiazolobenzofuroxan analogues [26]. Structural comparison between 37 and the extended glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) conformation has shown a close similarity in the relative position between 1 and 3 positioned NO2 moieties in GTN and the 0-N+-0 substructures in the furoxan...
