Oxygen-nitrogen derivatives acids

In the oxaziridines (1) ring positions 1, 2 and 3 are attributed to oxygen, nitrogen and carbon respectively. The latter almost always is in the oxidation state of a carbonyl compound and only in rare cases that of a carboxylic acid. Oxaziridinones are not known. The nitrogen can be substituted by aryl, alkyl, H or acyl the substituent causes large differences in chemical behavior. Fused derivatives (4), accessible from cyclic starting materials (Section 5.08.4.1), do not differ from monocyclic oxaziridines.

Nitric oxide has major effects that are mediated by activation of cytoplasmic soluble guanylyl cyclase and stimulated production of cGMP, an important second messenger. In addition, nitric oxide can produce several reactive nitrogen derivatives by interaction with molecular oxygen and superoxide radicals (Table 19-2). These highly unstable molecules react with a variety of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and metals (especially iron) in cells (Davis, 2001). The remainder of this chapter discusses some of the second messenger-mediated effects of nitric oxide and the effects of inhibition of its production.
