Nitroglycerin belongs to a group of drugs called nitrates, which includes many other nitrates like isosorbide dinitrate (Isordil) and isosorbide mononitrate (Imdur, Ismo, Monoket). These agents all exert their effect by being converted to nitric oxide in the body by mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase and nitric oxide is a potent natural vasodilator.
In medicine, nitroglycerin is used as a medicine for angina pectoris. The principal action of nitroglycerin is vasodilation (widening of the blood vessels). At low doses, nitroglycerin will dilate veins more than arteries, thereby reducing preload; this is thought to be [sic] its primary mechanism of action. But at higher doses, it also dilates arteries, thereby reducing afterload. It is also a potent antihypertensive agent. In cardiac treatment, the lowering of pressure in the arteries reduces the pressure against which the heart must pump, thereby decreasing afterload.
Nitroglycerin is available in tablets, ointment, solution for intravenous use, transdermal patches, or sprays administered sublingually. Some forms of nitroglycerin last much longer in the body than others. It has been shown that continuous exposure to nitrates can cause the body to stop responding normally to this medicine. Experts recommend that the patches be removed at night, allowing the body a few hours to restore its responsiveness to nitrates. Shorter-acting preparations can be used several times a day with less risk of the body's getting used to this drug. Nitroglycerin was first used by William Murrell to treat angina attacks in 1878, with the discovery published that same year.
