S-Nitrosomercaptoethanol (SNM) is a nitric oxide (NO) donor compound with significant biological activity. Its synthesis typically involves the reaction of mercaptoethanol with an NO source like sodium nitrite or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. SNM is known to induce vasodilation, inhibit platelet aggregation, and modulate immune responses. It is studied extensively due to its potential therapeutic applications in cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and neurodegenerative disorders. SNM's ability to release NO in a controlled manner makes it a valuable tool for investigating the role of NO in various physiological processes. However, its chemical instability and potential toxicity remain challenges for its clinical translation.'
