Nitrite is an important reservoir of nitric oxide activity in the plasma and cells. Using a biomimetic model, we demonstrate the conversion of zinc-bound nitrite in the tris(pyrazolyl)borate complex (iPr2)TpZn(NO2) to the corresponding S-nitrosothiol RSNO and zinc thiolate (iPr2)TpZn-SR via reaction with thiols H-SR. Decomposition of the S-nitrosothiol formed releases nitric oxide gas.
亚硝酸盐是血浆和细胞中一氧化氮活性的重要储存库。我们使用仿生模型证明了三(吡唑基)硼酸盐配合物(iPr2)TpZn(NO2)中与锌结合的亚硝酸盐与硫醇 H-SR 反应转化为相应的 S-亚硝酰硫醇 RSNO 和锌硫醇(iPr2)TpZn-SR。形成的 S-亚硝酰硫醇分解释放出一氧化氮气体。
