methylpropylpropanediol dinitrate

Methylpropylpropanediol dinitrate is an organic nitrate compound belonging to the class of alkyl nitrates. It is structurally related to other organic nitrates used as vasodilators in cardiovascular therapy. Like other compounds in this class, it acts as a nitric oxide donor, leading to vasodilation by relaxing vascular smooth muscle. This mechanism underlies its use for the treatment and prevention of angina pectoris and potentially other ischemic heart conditions[1][4][9]. The compound has a molecular formula of C7H14N2O6 and a molecular weight of approximately 222.20 g/mol[6]. Its pharmacological effects are presumed similar to those of other organic nitrates such as nitroglycerin and isosorbide dinitrate.
