Application

3-Morpholinosydnonimine hydrochloride has been used:as a peroxynitrite donor standard to study the accumulation of peroxynitriteinArabidopsis thalianato study its effects on nitrosative stress in human brain vascular pericytes and human embryonic kidney cellsas a ROS to study its effects on mouse embryonic fibroblasts

Biochem/physiol Actions

Liberates nitric oxide (NO) spontaneously when in solution, activating guanylyl cyclase and causing an increase in cyclic-GMP. This product is a vasodilator and inhibits platelet aggregation. Using molecular oxygen, it generates both superoxide anion and nitric oxide that spontaneously form peroxynitrite.

3-Morpholinosydnonimine participates in the inhibition of cysteine proteases.
