'''Nitric oxide''' (common name) or '''nitrogen monoxide''' (systematic name) is a [[chemical compound]] with [[chemical formula]] [[Nitrogen|N]][[Oxygen|O]]. This [[gas]] is an important [[signaling molecule]] in the body of [[mammal]]s, including [[human]]s, and is an extremely important [[Reaction intermediate|intermediate]] in the [[chemical industry]]. It is also an [[air pollutant]] produced by combustion of substances in air, like in [[automobile]] [[engine]]s and fossil fuel [[power plant]]s.

Nitric oxide should not be confused with [[nitrous oxide]] (N<sub>2</sub>O), an [[general anaesthetic|anesthetic]] and [[greenhouse gas]], or with [[nitrogen dioxide]] (NO<sub>2</sub>), a brown [[toxic gas]] and a major [[air pollutant]]. However, nitric oxide is rapidly oxidised in air to nitrogen dioxide, as [[Humphrey Davy]] found to his discomfort when he inhaled the gas early in his career.


Despite being a simple molecule, NO is a fundamental component in the fields of [[neuroscience]], [[physiology]], and [[immunology]], and was proclaimed “[[Molecule of the Year]]” in 1992.<ref name="undefined">{{cite journal

==Reactions==
=====Urogenital=====
*When exposed to [[oxygen]], NO is converted into [[nitrogen dioxide]].
:: 2 NO + O<sub>2</sub> → 2 NO<sub>2</sub>
:This conversion has been speculated as occurring via the ONOONO intermediate. In water, NO reacts with oxygen and water to form HNO<sub>2</sub> or [[nitrous acid]]. The reaction is thought to proceed via the following [[stoichiometry]]:
:: 4 NO + O<sub>2</sub> + 2 H<sub>2</sub>O → 4 HNO<sub>2</sub>


*NO will react with [[fluorine]], [[chlorine]], and [[bromine]] to form the XNO species, known as the nitrosyl halides, such as [[nitrosyl chloride]]. Nitrosyl iodide can form but is an extremely short-lived species and tends to reform I<sub>2</sub>.
:: 2 NO + Cl<sub>2</sub> → 2 NOCl
*[[Nitroxyl]] (HNO) is the reduced form of nitric oxide.


*Nitric oxide reacts with [[acetone]] and an [[alkoxide]] to a ''diazeniumdiolate'' or ''nitrosohydroxylamine'' and [[methyl acetate]]:<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1002/jlac.18983000108|title=Ueber Synthesen stickstoffhaltiger Verbindungen mit Hülfe des Stickoxyds|year=1898|last1=Traube|first1=Wilhelm|journal=Justus Liebig's Annalen der Chemie|volume=300|pages=81}}</ref>

=====Miscellaneous=====


:This is a very old reaction (1898) but of interest today in NO [[prodrug]] research. Nitric oxide can also react directly with sodium methoxide, forming [[sodium formate]] and [[nitrous oxide]].<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1021/jo7020423|title=Nitric Oxide Reacts with Methoxide|year=2008|last1=Derosa|first1=Frank|last2=Keefer|first2=Larry K.|last3=Hrabie|first3=Joseph A.|journal=The Journal of Organic Chemistry|volume=73|pages=1139|pmid=18184006|issue=3}}</ref>


===Preparation===

So-called [[NONOate]] compounds are also used for NO generation.
<!--Overdosage-->
|overdose====Acute Overdose===


===Coordination chemistry===
====Signs and Symptoms====
{{Main|Metal nitrosyl}}
NO forms complexes with all [[transition metal]]s to give complexes called [[metal nitrosyl]]s. The most common bonding mode of NO is the terminal linear type (M-NO). The angle of the M-N-O group can vary from 160° to 180° but are still termed as "linear". In this case, the NO group is considered a 3-electron donor under the covalent (neutral) method of electron counting, or a 2-electron donor under the ionic method.<ref>Robert H. Crabtree: [http://books.google.com/books?id=0bXMwefSs-kC&pg=PA32 "The Organometallic Chemistry of the Transition Metals"], John Wiley and Sons, 2005, ISBN 0471662569, p. 32.</ref> In the case of a bent M-N-O conformation, the NO group can be considered a one-electron donor using neutral counting, or a 2-electron donor using ionic counting.<ref>Robert H. Crabtree: [http://books.google.com/books?id=0bXMwefSs-kC&pg=PA96 "The Organometallic Chemistry of the Transition Metals"], John Wiley and Sons, 2005, ISBN 0471662569, pp. 96–98.</ref> One can view such complexes as derived from NO<sup>+</sup>, which is isoelectronic with CO.


Nitric oxide can serve as a one-electron pseudohalide. In such complexes, the M-N-O group is characterized by an angle between 120° and&nbsp;140°.
* Description


The NO group can also bridge between metal centers through the nitrogen atom in a variety of geometries.

The concentration of nitric oxide can be determined using a simple [[chemiluminescence|chemiluminescent reaction]] involving [[ozone]]:<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1021/ac60288a034|title=Homogeneous chemiluminescent measurement of nitric oxide with ozone.

The nitric oxide reacts with the ozone to produce [[oxygen]] and [[nitrogen dioxide]]. This reaction also produces [[light]] ([[chemiluminescence]]), which can be measured with a [[photodetector]]. The amount of light produced is proportional to the amount of nitric oxide in the sample.


: NO + O<sub>3</sub> → NO<sub>2</sub> + O<sub>2</sub> + light
===Chronic Overdose===


Other methods of testing include [[electrochemistry|electroanalysis]] (amperometric approach), where NO reacts with an electrode to induce a current or voltage change. The detection of NO radicals in biological tissues is particularly difficult due to the short lifetime and concentration of these radicals in tissues. One of the few practical methods is [[spin trapping]] of nitric oxide with iron-[[dithiocarbamate]] complexes and subsequent detection of the mono-nitrosyl-iron complex with [[electron paramagnetic resonance]] (EPR).<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1016/S0076-6879(02)59169-2|title=Iron dithiocarbamate as spin trap for nitric oxide detection: Pitfalls and successes|year=2002|last1=Vanin|first1=A|last2=Huisman|first2=A|last3=Vanfaassen|first3=E|volume=359|pages=27}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|pmid=11942795|year=2002|last1=Nagano|first1=T|last2=Yoshimura|first2=T|title=Bioimaging of nitric oxide.|volume=102|issue=4|pages=1235–70|journal=Chemical reviews|doi=10.1021/cr010152s}}</ref>

==Production environmental effects==
<!--Drug box 2-->
From a thermodynamic perspective, NO is unstable with respect to O<sub>2</sub> and N<sub>2</sub>, although this conversion is very slow at ambient temperatures in the absence of a [[catalyst]]. Because the heat of formation of NO is [[endothermic]], its synthesis from molecular nitrogen and oxygen requires elevated temperatures above 1000 °C. A major natural source is [[lightning]]. The use of [[internal combustion engine]]s has drastically increased the presence of nitric oxide in the environment. One purpose of [[catalytic converter]]s in cars is to minimize NO emission by catalytic reversion to O<sub>2</sub> and N<sub>2</sub>.
|drugBox=<!--Mechanism of Action-->
|mechAction=*


Nitric oxide in the air may convert to [[nitric acid]], which has been implicated in [[acid rain]]. Furthermore, both NO and NO<sub>2</sub> participate in [[ozone layer depletion]]. Nitric oxide is a small highly diffusible gas and a ubiquitous bioactive molecule.

|structure=*


==Technical applications==
: [[File:{{PAGENAME}}01.png|thumb|none|600px|This image is provided by the National Library of Medicine.]]
Although NO has relatively few direct uses, it is produced on a massive scale as an intermediate in the [[Ostwald process]] for the synthesis of [[nitric acid]] from [[ammonia]]. In 2005, the US alone produced 6 million metric tons of nitric acid.<ref>“Production: Growth is the Norm” Chemical and Engineering News, July 10, 2006, p. 59.</ref> It finds use in the [[semiconductor]] industry for various processes. In one of its applications it is used along with [[nitrous oxide]] to form oxynitride gates in [[CMOS]] devices.


===Miscellaneous applications===
<!--Pharmacodynamics-->
Nitric oxide can be used for detecting surface radicals on polymers. Quenching of surface [[Radical (chemistry)|radicals]] with nitric oxide results in incorporation of nitrogen, which can be quantified by means of [[X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy]].

==Biological functions==
<!--Pharmacokinetics-->
{{Main|Biological functions of nitric oxide}}
|PK=There is limited information regarding <i>Pharmacokinetics</i> of {{PAGENAME}} in the drug label.
NO is one of the few gaseous signaling molecules known and is additionally exceptional due to the fact that it is a radical gas. It is a key [[vertebrate]] [[signal transduction|biological messenger]], playing a role in a variety of biological processes. Nitric oxide, known as the '[[endothelium-derived relaxing factor]]', or 'EDRF', is biosynthesized endogenously from [[L-arginine]], [[oxygen]] and [[NADPH]] by various [[nitric oxide synthase]] (NOS) [[enzyme]]s.  Reduction of inorganic nitrate may also serve to make nitric oxide. The [[endothelium]] (inner lining) of [[blood vessel]]s uses nitric oxide to signal the surrounding [[smooth muscle]] to relax, thus resulting in [[vasodilation]] and increasing blood flow. Nitric oxide is highly reactive (having a lifetime of a few seconds), yet diffuses freely across membranes. These attributes make nitric oxide ideal for a transient [[paracrine]] (between adjacent cells) and [[autocrine]] (within a single cell) signaling molecule.<ref name="stryer">{{cite book|last = Stryer| first = Lubert| title = Biochemistry, 4th Edition| publisher = W.H. Freeman and Company|year = 1995| pages = 732| isbn = 0-7167-2009-4}}</ref>
The production of nitric oxide is elevated in populations living at high altitudes, which helps these people avoid [[Hypoxia (medical)|hypoxia]] by aiding in pulmonary vasculature [[vasodilation]]. Effects include vasodilatation, [[neurotransmitter|neurotransmission]] (see [[gasotransmitters]]), modulation of the [[hair|hair cycle]], production of reactive nitrogen intermediates and [[erection|penile erections]] (through its ability to [[vascular resistance|vasodilate]]). [[Glyceryl trinitrate (pharmacology)|Nitroglycerin]] and [[amyl nitrite]] serve as vasodilators because they are converted to nitric oxide in the body. [[Sildenafil|Sildenafil citrate]], popularly known by the trade name ''Viagra'', stimulates erections primarily by enhancing signaling through the nitric oxide pathway in the penis.


Nitric oxide (NO) contributes to vessel homeostasis by inhibiting vascular smooth muscle contraction and growth, platelet aggregation, and leukocyte adhesion to

Nitric oxide is also generated by phagocytes ([[monocyte]]s, [[macrophage]]s, and [[neutrophil]]s) as part of the human [[immune response]]. Phagocytes are armed with inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), which is activated by [[interferon-gamma]] (IFN-γ) as a single signal or by [[tumor necrosis factor]] (TNF) along with a second signal.<ref>Gorczyniski and Stanely, Clinical Immunology. Landes Bioscience; Austin, TX. ISBN 1570596255</ref> On the other hand, [[transforming growth factor-beta]] (TGF-β) provides a strong inhibitory signal to iNOS, whereas [[interleukin]]-4 (IL-4) and IL-10 provide weak inhibitory signals. In this way the immune system may regulate the armamentarium of phagocytes that play a role in inflammation and immune responses. Nitric oxide secreted as an immune response is as free radicals and is toxic to bacteria; the mechanism for this includes DNA damage<ref>

Nitric oxide can contribute to [[reperfusion injury]] when an excessive amount produced during reperfusion (following a period of [[ischemia]]) reacts with [[superoxide]] to produce the damaging oxidant [[peroxynitrite]]. In contrast, inhaled nitric oxide has been shown to help survival and recovery from [[paraquat]] poisoning, which produces lung tissue–damaging superoxide and hinders NOS metabolism.

An important biological reaction of nitric oxide is S-[[nitrosylation]], the conversion of [[thiol]] groups, including [[cysteine]] residues in proteins, to form S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs). S-[[Nitrosylation]] is a mechanism for dynamic, post-translational regulation of most or all major classes of protein.

===Mechanism of action===
<!--Look-Alike Drug Names-->
There are several mechanisms by which NO has been demonstrated to affect the biology of living cells. These include oxidation of iron-containing proteins such as [[ribonucleotide reductase]] and [[aconitase]], activation of the soluble [[guanylate cyclase]], ADP ribosylation of proteins, protein sulfhydryl group [[nitrosylation]], and iron regulatory factor activation.<ref>{{cite journal|pmid=7658698|year=1995|last1=Shami|first1=PJ|last2=Moore|first2=JO|last3=Gockerman|first3=JP|last4=Hathorn|first4=JW|last5=Misukonis|first5=MA|last6=Weinberg|first6=JB|title=Nitric oxide modulation of the growth and differentiation of freshly isolated acute non-lymphocytic leukemia cells.|volume=19|issue=8|pages=527–33|journal=Leukemia research|doi=10.1016/0145-2126(95)00013-E}}</ref> NO has been demonstrated to activate [[NF-κB]] in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, an important transcription factor in iNOS gene expression in response to inflammation.<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://www.jhep-elsevier.com/article/S0168-8278(99)80270-0/abstract|author=Kaibori M., Sakitani K., Oda M., Kamiyama Y., Masu Y. and Okumura T.|year=1999|title=Immunosuppressant FK506 inhibits inducible nitric oxide synthase gene expression at a step of NF-κB activation in rat hepatocytes|journal=J.

===Pharmacology===


Nitric oxide is considered an [[Antianginal|anti]][[Angina pectoris|anginal]] drug: it causes [[vasodilation]], which can help with ischemic pain known as angina by decreasing the cardiac workload. By dilating the veins there is less blood returned to the heart per cycle.<ref name="Jonathan Abrams 1996">{{cite journal|doi=10.1016/S0002-9149(96)00186-5|title=Beneficial actions of nitrates in cardiovascular disease|year=1996|last1=Abrams|first1=J|journal=The American Journal of Cardiology|volume=77|pages=C31}}</ref> This decreases the amount of volume that the heart has to pump. Nitroglycerin pills, taken sublingually (under the tongue), are used to prevent or treat acute chest pain. The nitroglycerin reacts with a [[thiol|sulfhydryl]] group (–SH) to produce nitric oxide, which eases the pain by causing vasodilation. Recent evidence suggests that nitrates may be beneficial for treatment of angina due to reduced myocardial oxygen consumption both by decreasing preload and afterload and by some direct vasodilation of coronary vessels<ref name="Jonathan Abrams 1996"/>


A nutritional supplement called [[Glycocarn]] is believed to increase blood levels of nitric oxide, and has been used to enhanced athletic performance.<ref name="Bloomer RJ 2007">Bloomer RJ, Smith WA, Fisher-Wellman KH.
