A new promising binuclear tetranitrosyl iron complex with 2-methoxythiophenolyl of the composition [Fe(CHOS)(NO)] (complex 1), which acts on the therapeutic targets of cardiovascular diseases, guanylate and adenylate cyclase, has been synthesized. X-ray diffraction data show the presence of two isoforms of complex 1; according to quantum chemical calculations, the structure of only the trans isomer is stable in solutions. The processes of transformation of complex 1 in DMSO, in aqueous solutions, as well as in the presence of bovine serum albumin, reduced glutathione, and mucin were studied.

In this work, using experimental and theoretical methods, we investigated the interaction of their synthetic analog, a promising cardiotropic complex of the composition [Fe(SC(NH))(NO)][Fe(SO)(NO)], with bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous aerobic solutions. We suggested that, under these conditions, the decomposition product of the initial complex with oxygen, the [Fe(NO)(NO)] fragment, can bind in the hydrophobic pocket of the protein.
