linsidomine

Lincydomine is a smooth muscle relaxant, beneficial to the treatment of unstable angina pectoris, but also can open the respiratory tract of humans and guinea pigs.

Linsidomine hydrochloride (SIN-1 chloride) is considered as a metabolite of moxidomine, with vasodilation, inhibition of platelet aggregation, and antiangina activity. In myocardial ischemia-reperfusion models, Linsidomine hydrochloride to reduce myocardial necrosis and reperfusion induced endothelial dysfunction is associated with the cavernosal mechanism of action involved in nitric oxide release.

Molsidomine (Corvaton) is an orally active, long-acting vasodilating drug. It metabolizes in the liver to the active metabolite linsidomine, that releases nitric oxide (NO) upon decay as the actual vasodilating compound.
