Application

Molsidomine has been used as nitric oxide (NO)-releasing vasodilator to study the effect of NO on angiostatin production in aging rat kidneys.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Molsidomine is an effective vasodilator and a long-lasting nitric oxide (NO) donor. It is a pro-drug that is enzymatically decarboxylated to form 3-morpholinosydnone imine (SIN-1) in the liver. Molsidomine is used as an anti-anginal agent and possesses antioxidant properties. It may be used to treat cisplatin-induced oxidative stress in the liver tissue. Molsidomine has also been used during angina pectoris, heart failure, and after myocardial infarction.
Orally active, long acting vasodilator; antianginal; converted by the liver to the active metabolite, SIN-1

Peroxynitrite (PN) worsens pathological conditions associated with oxidative stress. However, beneficial effects have also been reported. PN has been shown to demonstrate vasodilator as well as vasoconstrictor properties that are dependent upon the experimental conditions and the vascular bed studied.
