The molecular structures and conformational properties of acetyl peroxynitrate (PAN, CH3C(O)OONO2) and trifluoroacetyl peroxynitrate (FPAN, CF3C(O)OONO2) were investigated in the gas phase by electron diffraction (GED), microwave spectroscopy (MW), and quantum chemical methods (HF/3-21G, HF/6-31G*, MP2/6-31G*, B3PW91/6-31G*, and B3PW91/6-311+G*). All experimental and theoretical methods show the syn conformer (C=O bond of acetyl group syn to O-O bond) to be strongly predominant relative to the anti conformer. The O-NO2 bonds are extremely long, 1.492(7) A in PAN and 1.526(10) A in FPAN, which correlates with their low bond energy and the easy formation of CX3C(O)OO* and *NO2 radicals in the atmosphere. The O-O bonds (1.418(12) A in PAN and 1.408(8) A in FPAN) are shorter than that in hydrogen peroxide (1.464 A). In both compounds the C-O-O-N dihedral angle is close to 85 degrees.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a promising approach for treating ocular hypertension and glaucoma. However, its clinical application is limited by its uncontrollable release and the unwanted overproduction of peroxynitrite. Herein, a denitrifying hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticle (HMMN) with framework cohybridization is first constructed to encapsulate -nitroso--acetyl-d,l-penicillamine (SNAP) to produce SNAP@HMMN with dual capacities of selective peroxynitrite removal and controllable NO release.

Ferroptosis, as a non-apoptotic cell death pathway, has attracted increasing attention for cancer therapy. However, the clinical application of ferroptosis-participated modalities is severely limited by the low efficiency owing to the intrinsic intracellular regulation pathways. Herein, chlorin e6 (Ce6) and N-acetyl-l-cysteine-conjugated bovine serum albumin-ruthenium dioxide is elaborately designed and constructed for ultrasound-triggered peroxynitrite-mediated ferroptosis.

A product study was performed for the reaction of γ-caprolactone (GCL) and γ-heptalactone (GHL) initiated by OH radicals at (298 ± 2) K and atmospheric pressure, in presence of NO. The identification and quantification of the products were performed in a glass reactor coupled with in situ FT-IR spectroscopy. The following products were identified and quantified with the corresponding formation yields (in %) for the OH + GCL reaction: peroxy propionyl nitrate (PPN) (52 ± 3), peroxy acetyl nitrate (PAN) (25 ± 1), and succinic anhydride (48 ± 2).

The aim of this study was to observe the possible function of increased superoxide and NO production in the response of barley root tip to the harmful level of Cd. While superoxide generation was detected only in the transition zone, the formation of NO was observed in the apical elongation zones of the control root tips. However, the root region with the superoxide generation was also associated with peroxynitrite specific fluorescence signal.

Drug-induced hepatotoxicity represents an important challenge for safety in drug development. The production of peroxynitrite (ONOO) is proposed as an early sign in the progression of drug-induced hepatotoxicity. Currently, reported ONOO probes mainly emit in the visible range or the first NIR window, which have limited in vivo biosensing application due to the autofluorescence and photon scattering.
