Description

Isosorbide-2-mononitrate, also known as ISMN, is a nitrate drug used primarily for the prevention and treatment of angina pectoris. It is a vasodilator that acts on the smooth muscles of blood vessels, causing relaxation and widening of the arteries. ISMN is typically administered orally, and its effects can last for several hours. The drug works by releasing nitric oxide (NO), which activates a signaling pathway that leads to relaxation of vascular smooth muscle. ISMN is generally well-tolerated but can cause side effects such as headache, dizziness, and hypotension. It is important to note that ISMN should not be used by patients with severe hypotension, narrow-angle glaucoma, or hypersensitivity to nitrates. ISMN is an important therapeutic agent for the management of angina and its related complications, and it is frequently studied in clinical trials to understand its efficacy and safety in different patient populations. The synthesis of ISMN involves a multi-step process that begins with the conversion of isosorbide to isosorbide dinitrate. This dinitrate is then selectively reduced to isosorbide-2-mononitrate using various reducing agents such as sodium borohydride or lithium aluminum hydride.'
