“…Given the tolerance issues associated with organic nitrates, it is surprising that the majority of nitroaspirins investigated so far exploit the same NO donor moiety, especially as it has been shown for at least one example that the mechanism of NO release is the same in hybrid drugs ( Turnbull et al ., 2006a ). This is a pressing concern considering the rapid emergence of many new NSAIDs/anti‐inflammatory/analgesic agents with nitrates groups, for example paracetamol ( Marshall et al ., 2006 ), flurbiprofen ( Fujihara et al ., 1998 ), naproxen ( Young et al ., 2005 ), mesalamine ( Wallace et al ., 1999b ), gabapentin ( Wu et al ., 2004 ), predisolone and other steroids ( Tallet et al ., 2002 ). However, the nitrate ester of nitroaspirin has been replaced with a furoxan moiety ( Cena et al ., 2003 ; Turnbull et al ., 2006a ) and S ‐nitroso‐ ( Bandarage et al ., 2000 ) and diazeniumdiolate ( Velazquez et al ., 2005 ) forms of other NSAID drugs (e.g.…”
