Used in pharmaceutical research as a nitric oxide-releasing compound, showing potential in cardiovascular therapies due to its vasodilatory effects. It serves as a prodrug that gradually releases nitric oxide, helping in the relaxation of blood vessels and improving blood flow. Investigated for use in treatments of hypertension and ischemic conditions. Also explored for its antiplatelet properties, reducing the risk of thrombosis without significant bleeding side effects. Its dual-action mechanism combines esterase-mediated drug release with controlled nitric oxide delivery, making it a candidate for targeted delivery systems in inflammation and atherosclerosis.
