Nitroglycerin was first invented in 1847 and has been used as an active ingredient in the manufacture of explosives, mostly dynamite. Nitroglycerin came into medical use in 1878 as as a potent vasodilator (dilation of the vascular system) to treat heart conditions, such as angina pectoris and chronic heart failure. Upon administration, nitroglycerin is converted to nitric oxide (NO) by mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase. NO is a potent activator of guanylyl cyclase (GC) by heme-dependent mechanisms.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Nitroglycerin in 5% Dextrose Injection is intended for intravenous administration using sterile equipment. It should be administered only via an infusion pump that can maintain a constant infusion rate. For treatment of acute anginal attack, one tablet of Nitrostat should be dissolved under the tongue or in the buccal pouch at the first sign of an acute anginal attack. The dose may be repeated approximately every 5 minutes, until relief is obtained. If the pain persists after a total of 3 tablets in a 15-minute period, or the pain is different than is typically experienced, prompt medical attention is recommended. Nitrostat may be used prophylactically 5 to 10 minutes prior to engaging in activities which might precipitate an acute attack.

Route of Administration: Other

In Vitro Use Guide

Vasoactivity of nitroglycerin was measured using an ex vivo assay. Mice thoracic aortae were removed, cleaned, and cut into 3-mm rings. Rings were mounted on strain gauge transducers under 1 g of resting tension, and maintained at 37°C in Krebs solution, bubbled continuously with 20% O2/5% CO2/75% N2. Rings were allowed to equilibrate for 1 h before active tension was induced with prostaglandin F2α. Application of Nitroglycerine relieve the F2α-induced strain with IC50 of 10-7 M for wt mice, and 10-5 for mtALDH-/- mice.
