[Study of N-nitroso compounds which have NO-release ability]

S Sueyoshi, M Tanno, N Miyata

Kokuritsu Iyakuhin Shokuhin Eisei Kenkyujo Hokoku = Bulletin of National Institute of Health Sciences

|January 1, 1997

Summary

Researchers developed stable aromatic N-nitrosoureas and N-nitrosamides that release nitric oxide (NO) at room temperature. The compound 3,3-Dibenzyl-1-(4-tolyl)-1-nitrosourea demonstrated the highest NO-generating capacity.

Area of Science:

Organic Chemistry
Biochemistry
Chemical Biology

Context:

Nitric oxide (NO) is a crucial signaling molecule in biological systems.
The gaseous and labile nature of NO necessitates stable donors for experimental use.
Handling gaseous NO requires specialized techniques, limiting its widespread application.

Purpose:

To synthesize novel aromatic N-nitrosoureas and N-nitrosamides as stable nitric oxide (NO) donors.
To chemically confirm and quantify NO generation from these synthesized compounds.
To correlate NO-releasing ability with biological activity (ID50 values).

Summary:

A series of aromatic N-nitrosoureas and N-nitrosamides were synthesized, capable of releasing NO at room temperature.
NO generation was validated using tetraphenylporphyrinatocobalt(II) complex trapping and quantified via the Griess reaction.
