“…4,5 To address these issues, materials which can be decomposed to release NO have been developed as exogenous NO donors for clinical use, including organic nitrates, nitrites, nitrosamines, metal-NO complexes, S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs), and N-diazeniumdiolates (NONOates). [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Among these, NONOates have gained particular attention for their spontaneous dissociation to give off two moles of NO per mole of donor under physiological conditions (i.e. 37 °C, pH 7.4).…”
