Background
SIN-1 chloride is an active metabolite of molsidomine, which is a potent vasorelaxant and inhibitor of platelet aggregation. It produces both NO and superoxide and can therefore be used to generate peroxynitrite under physiological conditions. SIN-1 decreases myocardial necrosis and reperfusion-induced endothelial dysfunction in models of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion[1,2].
