The chemistries of S-nitroso-DL-penicillamine (SNAP) and S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) in relation to their ability to relax vascular smooth muscle and prevent platelet aggregation have been investigated. Metal ion catalysis greatly accelerates the decomposition of SNAP, but has little effect on GSNO.
