Nitroglycerin MOA
Forms free nitric oxide (NO) which activate guanylate cyclase (GC) to increase cGMP resulting in smooth muscle relaxation. Aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) is the enzyme that releases the NO from organic nitrates. This enzyme can get depleted resulting in “nitrate tolerance” requiring nitrate holiday
NG ADR
Headache, syncope, hypotension, reflex tachycardia,
methemoglobinemia (increased affinity of hemoglobin for ferric iron versus ferrous iron)
NG dental implications
Xerostomia- normal salivary flow resumes upon discontinuation
Monitor for orthostatic hypotension
Isosorbide mononitrate
(ISMN) (Imdur) MOA
Forms free nitric oxide (NO) which activate guanylate cyclase (GC) to increase cGMP resulting in smooth muscle relaxation. Aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) is the enzyme that releases the NO from organic nitrates. This enzyme can get depleted resulting in “nitrate tolerance” requiring a nitrate holiday.
