Nitric oxide prodrugs: diazeniumdiolate anions of hindered secondary amines

Org Lett. 2007 Oct 25;9(22):4551-4. doi: 10.1021/ol7019636. Epub 2007 Oct 5.

Abstract

Nitric oxide prodrugs derived from hindered secondary amines were prepared. The decomposition patterns of these prodrugs indicate that alpha-methyl groups around the nitrogen bearing the diazeniumdiolate group prolong their half-life in aqueous buffer.
