Trinitrate

Overview

Basic Info

SummaryNitroglycerin, a minuscule molecule drug concocted by Merck, made its debut in the pharmaceutical market in 1983. The drug possesses dual attributes: it functions as a catalyst for the soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) enzyme, as well as a nitric oxide donor. Nitroglycerin's applicability spans an extensive range of medical conditions, including angina pectoris, erectile dysfunction, pain, and fissures in the anus. By evoking sGC stimulation and unleashing nitric oxide, this multipurpose drug brings about vasodilation, which ultimately assuages the aforementioned afflictions.
