Application

Peroxynitrite has been used to induce pericyte contraction in mouse brains. It has also been used for the preparation of positive control nitrated protein standards in immunohistochemical studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Peroxynitrite (ONOO−) exhibits bactericidal activity. It promotes cell death and contributes to the signal-transduction process, mitochondrial function, and apoptotic pathway. The formation of peroxynitrite has been associated with the development of various diseases including vascular diseases, ischemia-reperfusion injury, circulatory shock, inflammation, pain, and neurodegeneration.

General description

Peroxynitrite (ONOO−) is a powerful oxidant formed by the collision of nitric oxide and superoxide.
