Vanidil: a newly synthesized antiangina nonvolatile organic solid nitrate.
Newly synthesized Vanidil (4-o-(1,2-dinitroglyceryl)-6-nitrovanillic acid) is a nonvolatile organic solid nitrate, mp: 85 degrees C. In in vitro tests, Vanidil can inhibit 3,4-diaminopyridine (2 x 10(-2) M) induced pig coronary rhythmic vasocontraction, a prelude to coronary vasospasm, and nonrhythmic tonic vasocontraction. Vanidil is suggested as a potential antiangina agent.
