- W2015771330 abstract "Nitroglycerin and the organic nitrates (RONO2) can be considered prodrugs that require conversion to an active intracellular moiety that initiates vascular smooth muscle relaxation. Vasodilation of veins and arteries occurs when the enzyme guanylate cyclase (GC) is activated, initiating the conversion of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) to cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP); this is the final pathway for vascular dilation caused by the nitrovasodilators (organic nitrates, sodium nitroprusside, and molsidomine) as well as endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF). The common denominator appears to be the intracellular production of nitric oxide (NO), which is the activated product of organic nitrate denitration. Nitrate tolerance has been associated with a relative depletion or unavailability of thiol groups that are involved in the initial step of denitration of RONO2. Sulfhydryl groups (SH) are oxidized during this process; with continuous nitrate exposure, decreased nitrate metabolism within the vascular smooth muscle cell occurs as a direct result of the depletion of reduced SH groups. Thus, less NO is formed and cGMP production is diminished, with a subsequent decrease or absence of vasodilation. In addition, SH groups or thiols are required for the production of S-nitrosothiols (RSNO). These short-lived compounds have been identified as an end product of organic nitrate metabolism and as possibly obligatory for the induction of GC. It is unclear, however, as to whether S-nitrosothiols are a necessary byproduct of NO production from organic nitrates. It appears that RSNO can be formed outside the cell membrane and may be able to induce vasorelaxation after penetrating the cell and initiating GC activation. Exogenous SH donors, particularly N-acetylcysteine (NAC), have been employed to provide intracellular thiols in efforts to prevent or reverse nitrate tolerance. Nitrate physiologic actions are accentuated following NAC administration in the absence of tolerance. Although controversial, the concept that NAC or other thiols might be able to prevent the development of nitrate tolerance is being actively studied in laboratories around the world. Methionine has also been utilized as an SH donor with some success. Not all data are consistent, however, and the ultimate role of thiol donors for the prevention or reversal of nitrate tolerance remains uncertain. Finally, there has been considerable interest in supplying thiols by use of the SH-containing angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, such as captopril. This approach does not seem promising, probably because insufficient thiol can be supplied by therapeutic dosages of these drugs." @default.
