Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN; nitroglycerin) is a representative compound from the organic nitrate ester family. Introduced in 1879, it has been used as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of angina pectoris. In the later part of the nineteenth century, the explosive property of nitroglycerin was discovered, and it then became the active component of dynamite. Glyceryl trinitrate, ethylene glycol dinitrate, and other nitrate esters are commonly used in military and mining explosives. In preparing dynamite, these nitrate esters are absorbed in a dope of oxidizing salts and various inert fillers.
