Extracellular polymeric substances in bacterial biofilms reduce the penetration of antimicrobials and give rise to extreme recalcitrance and treatment challenges for many persistent biofilms and associated infections. Nitric oxide (NO) is a promising alternative to conventional antimicrobials but is challenging
The Chinese medicine Huoxue Wentong Formula (HXWTF) was used to treat thoracic obstruction and angina pectoris in clinic, which has not been investigated in myocardial ischemia-induced apoptosis and angiogenic function. Here we aimed to investigate the roles of HXWTF in

The clinically used sulfonamide carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitor dorzolamide (DRZ), a new sulfonamide CA inhibitor also incorporating NO-donating moieties, NCX250, and isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN) (an NO-donating compound with no CA inhibitory properties) were investigated for their intraocular pressure
Isosorbide mononitrate (IMN) administration is thought to enhance in the cervical ripening process. We sought to identify the clinical usefulness and safety of IMN administration for shortening the time to termination of the second trimester pregnancy procedures when used in

Pharmacokinetic studies show that isosorbide mononitrate is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, reaches peak concentrations within an hour, undergoes no significant first-pass metabolism, and is virtually 100% bioavailable. The half-life is approximately 5 hours, the volume of distribution is 0.62
