The chemistry of nitric oxide (NO) has taken on new dimensions since the discovery, about a decade ago, of a myriad of biological events that NO participates in. Many of the foundations of metal-NO chemistry were laid out earlier by inorganic chemists and biochemists investigating the structures and electronic properties of the heme-NO moiety or its model compounds. Certainly, the persistent work over the last three decades by chemists working with metal nitrosyls has paid off. Current areas of research in heme-NO chemistry include (i) how the NO group approaches and binds to the metal center (or how it dissociates from the metal center); (ii) the ground state and excited state geometries of the metal-NOfragment; (iii) effects of the trans axial ligands on NO orientation and/or dissociation; and (iv) N-N bond formation from NO molecules catalyzed by heme groups.

Action Profile

Circular muscle strips from opossum lower esophageal sphincter were suspended in organ baths for measurement of isometric tension. Nonadrenergic noncholinergic (NANC) inhibitory nerves were stimulated by means of transmural field stimulation. This induced frequency-dependent relaxations of the muscle strips. Methylene blue (3 x 10(-6) M; inhibits guanylate cyclase) and pyrogallol (10(-4) M; generates superoxide anions) had no influence on relaxations, whereas oxyhemoglobin [10(-5) M; binds nitric oxide (NO) and other nitroso compounds extracellularly] inhibited relaxations at all frequencies. NO concentration dependently relaxed the muscle strips. Pyrogallol (10(-4) M) and methylene blue (3 x 10(-6) M) inhibited and oxyhemoglobin (10(-5) M) nearly abolished relaxation induced by NO. S-nitroso-L-cysteine caused concentration-dependent relaxations of the muscle strips, which were inhibited by pyrogallol (10(-4) M), whereas methylene blue (3 x 10(-6) M) augmented the action of S-nitroso-L-cysteine. Methylene blue (3 x 10(-6) M) had no influence on the concentration-dependent relaxations caused by sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Oxyhemoglobin (10(-5) M), and to a lesser extent pyrogallol (10(-4) M), both inhibited the effects of SNP. The action profiles for S-nitroso-L-cysteine, NO, and SNP differed from the action profile for NANC nerve-mediated response. Although pyrogallol inhibited the effects of SNP, the action profile generally resembled the action profile for NANC responses more closely than did the profiles for S-nitroso-L-cysteine or NO. In conclusion, of the nitroso compounds studied, SNP most closely resembled the response to NANC nerve stimulation. Neither NO nor S-nitroso-L-cysteine individually mimicked the NANC response.
