PAPA NONOate (146672-58-4) is a nitric oxide donor and dissociates to the free amine and NO in a pH dependent manner. The half-life of PAPA NONOate in 0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 is 15 minutes at 37°C, or 77 minutes at room temperature.1?Dissociation is essentially instantaneous at a pH of 5.0.
PAPA NONOate is an NO donor which suppresses the caspase apoptotic cascade.
ChEBI: PAPA NONOate is an alkylamine.
