Nitric Oxide Donor/Precursor Compounds

Nitric Oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that is involved in both physiological and pathological processes. Nitric oxide donors and precursors, as the name suggests, provide a functional NO group that can be involved in nitric oxide signaling pathways.

Nitric oxide is an autocrine and paracrine signaling molecule that can diffuse through biological membranes. It has a very short duration of action (a few seconds) and its main physiological function is to contribute to the homeostasis ...
