Crystalline Solid

Able to activate the soluble guanylate cyclase by releasing Nitric Oxide under the action of thiol cofactors. Also inhibits platelet aggregation

ChEBI: 4-phenyl-3-furoxancarbonitrile is a 1,2,5-oxadiazole substituted by an oxido, cyano and phenyl groups at positions 2, 3 and 4, respectively. It is a vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet aggregation. It has a role as a geroprotector, a platelet aggregation inhibitor, a soluble guanylate cyclase activator, a vasodilator agent and a nitric oxide donor. It is a nitrile, a N-oxide, a 1,2,5-oxadiazole and a member of benzenes.
