Sodium nitroprusside is a vasodilator and an inhibitor of platelet activation. It is thought that these effects are mediated by the spontaneous release of nitric oxide and stimulation of cytosolic guanylate cyclase. We have found that sodium nitroprusside (5-200 microM)

We have evaluated the contributions of nitric oxide (NO) and prostacyclin (PGI2) in the in vivo antiplatelet effects of clinically useful nitrovasodilators. In rats, intravenous infusion of three NO donors, glyceryl trinitrate, sodium nitroprusside, or 3'-morpholinosydnonimine, the stable metabolite of

The nitric oxide (N0-releasing agents sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) inhibit dioxygenase activity of lipoxygenase in human platelets and human CHP100 neuroblastoma cells, leading the latter to necrosis. The effect of both NO-donors on the dioxygenase reaction was investigated

We localized the sites of vasodilation of inhaled nitric oxide (NO), a selective pulmonary vasodilator, and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) in isolated rat lungs. The sites were determined by analyzing the arterial, venous, and double-occlusion data with a two-resistor (small arteries
