Abstract
4-Phenyl-3-furoxancarbonitrile (2) affords nitric oxide under the action of thiol cofactors. Two principal products were isolated in the reaction with thiophenol: the phenylcyanoglyoxime (6) and 5-amino-3-phenyl-4-(phenylthio)isoxazole (7). Mechanisms which could account for the formation of these two products are discussed. Compound 2 is an efficient activator of the rat lung soluble guanylate cyclase, displays high vasodilatory activity on strips of rat thoracic aorta precontracted with noradrenaline, and is a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation.
