A method for the synthesis of peroxynitrite is described. It involves nitrosation of H2O2 at pH> or = 12.5 by isoamyl or butyl nitrite in mixed solvents of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and water at 25+/-1 degrees C. Maximum yields of

All nitrovasodilators act intracellularly by a common molecular mechanism. This is characterized by the release of nitric oxide (NO). They are, thus, prodrugs or carriers of the active principle NO, responsible for endothelial controlled vasodilation. The rate of NO-formation strongly

Mice were examined for effects on lethality and motor performance on an inverted screen test following inhalation exposure to isoamyl, n-butyl and isobutyl nitrite. All three nitrites produced concentration-related effects on both measures, with EC50s for motor performance only about

The reaction of 6-acylmethylphenanthridines with isoamyl nitrite results alpha-oximino-6-acylmethylphenanthridines in 73-95% yields in DMF under ultrasound irradiation. Compared with conventional methods, the main advantages of the present procedure are milder conditions, shorter reaction time and higher yields.

Analytical biochemistry, 236(2), 242-249 (1996-05-01)
A new method for the preparation of high concentrations of peroxynitrite (up to 1 M) is described. The synthesis uses a two-phase system and involves a displacement reaction by the hydroperoxide anion (in the aqueous phase) on isoamyl nitrite (in
