It has been shown that the hypotensive action of the nitric oxide donor, the dinitrosyl complex of iron with glutathione, on the organism of healthy rats, which is caused by a decrease in the general peripherical immunity, does not impair the microcirculation and is accompanied by an enhancement of the contractile activity of the myocardium. In hypotension caused by the dinitrosyl iron complex, neither the tension of oxygen and nitrogen in the blood nor its basic-acidic status changes. Thus, the possible inhibitory action of this complex on some enzymes and proteins in the animal organism does not affect the functioning of the heart, vessels, and blood. The dinitrosyl iron complex with glutathione only causes a decrease in arterial pressure. It is assumed that these complexes as well as dinitrosyl complexes of iron with other thiol ligands may be considered as the basis for designing a novel type of drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Repeated use of nitroglycerin results in a loss of its vasodilatory efficacy which limits its clinical use for the treatment of angina pectoris. This tolerance phenomenon is a defining characteristic of all compounds classified as nitrodilators, which includes NTG as well as S-nitrosothiols and dinitrosyl iron complexes. These compounds vasodilate via activation of soluble guanylate cyclase, although they do not release requisite amounts of free nitric oxide (NO) and some do not even cross the plasma membrane.

Building upon an earlier study of heme-nitrosyl complexes (. , , 20496-20505), we examined a wide range of nonheme {FeNO} complexes (the superscript represents the Enemark-Feltham count) and two dinitrosyl iron complexes using DMRG-CASSCF calculations. Analysis of the wave functions in terms of resonance forms with different [π*(NO)] occupancies (where = 0-4 for mononitrosyl complexes) identified the dominant electronic configurations of {FeNO} and {FeNO} complexes as Fe-NO and Fe-NO, respectively, mirroring our previous findings on heme-nitrosyl complexes.

Treatment of with 2 equiv of PhEH (E = S, Se) produced NO in ∼40% yields, respectively, along with and the DNICs, [Fe(EPh)(NO)] (E = S, Se). Treatment of with excess PhEH produced NO in similar yields, while was converted to the same DNICs and / (instead of ).

The concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) donors in the plasma of pregnant women with preeclampsia is several times higher than in healthy pregnant women. Antihypertensive drugs acting not through the NO-mediated mechanisms normalized BP in some women with preeclampsia, but did not significantly reduce the levels of NO donors in the plasma. It appears that preeclampsia is associated with insufficient NO availability for the targets, rather than low intensity of NO synthesis.

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.
