Tolerance to nitroglycerin-induced preconditioning of the endothelium: a human in vivo study

2009

Damage and dysfunction of the vascular endothelium critically influence clinical outcomes after ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). Brief exposure to organic nitrates can protect the vascular endothelium from I/R injury via a mechanism that is similar to ischemic preconditioning and is independent of hemodynamic changes. The clinical relevance of these protective effects clearly depends on whether they can be sustained over time. Twenty-four healthy (age 25–32) male volunteers were randomized to receive 1) transdermal nitroglycerin (GTN; 0.6 mg/h) administered for 2 h on 1 day only, 2) transdermal GTN for 2 h/day for 7 days, or 3) continuous therapy with transdermal GTN for 7 days. Eight volunt…

In vitro and in vivo characterization of a new organic nitrate hybrid drug covalently bound to pioglitazone.

2014

<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Organic nitrates represent a group of nitrovasodilators that are clinically used for the treatment of ischemic heart disease. The new compound CLC-3000 is an aminoethyl nitrate (AEN) derivative of pioglitazone, a thiazolidinedione antidiabetic agent combining the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ agonist activity of pioglitazone with the NO-donating activity of the nitrate moiety. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In vitro and in vivo characterization was performed by isometric tension recording, platelet function, bleeding time and detection of oxidative stress. <b><i>Results:</i></…

Effects of nitroglycerin or pentaerithrityl tetranitrate treatment on the gene expression in rat hearts: evidence for cardiotoxic and cardioprotectiv…

2009

Nitroglycerin (NTG) and pentaerithrityl tetranitrate (PETN) are organic nitrates used in the treatment of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure. Recent data show marked differences in the effects of NTG and PETN on the generation of reactive oxygen species. These differences are attributed to different effects of NTG and PETN on the expression of antioxidative proteins like the heme oxygenase-I. To analyze the expressional effects of NTG and PETN in a more comprehensive manner we performed whole genome expression profiling experiments using cardiac total RNA from NTG- or PETN-treated rats and DNA microarrays containing oligonucleotides representing 27,044 rat…

Nitroglycerin Hits the Nerve

Organic nitrates are still widely used for the treatment of acute and chronic angina and congestive heart failure. When given acutely, their effectiveness is indisputable; in contrast, their long-term efficacy is limited because of serious side effects such as the development of tolerance and

Über die polymerisation von acrylnitril mit silbernitrat

1963

Die Polymerisation von Acrylnitril mit AgNO3 in Substanz und in Losung wird untersucht. In orientierenden Kinetischen Versuchen wird gefunden, das die Reaktion nach einem radikalischen Mechanismus ablauft; sie wird durch Licht katalysiert. Auserdem wird die Aktivitat einer Reihe anorganischer Salze und organischer Nitratebei der Initiierung der Polymerisation gepruft. Die Reaktionsmoglichkeiten werden diskutiert. The polymerization of acrylonitrile with AgNO3 in bulk and in solution was investigated. Informative kinetic experiments were carried out and it is suggested that a radical mechanism is operative; light acts as a catalyst. A number of inorganic salts and organic nitrates were check…

Organic nitrates are still quite frequently used for the treatment of acute and chronic angina, and acute and chronic congestive heart failure. When given acutely, their effectiveness is undisputable; however, their long-term efficacy is substantially limited due to the development of tolerance ([1
