Effects of expiring reimbursability of pentaerythrityl tetranitrate (PETN, pentalong®) on anti-anginal therapy: an observational study.

PURPOSE: Pentaerythrityl tetranitrate (PETN) was the most commonly prescribed long-acting nitrate in Germany. We aimed to assess whether the discontinuation of PETN reimbursability in 2011 resulted in alternative prescriptions of anti-anginal medications or in a discontinuation of anti-anginal therapy. METHODS: This is an observational study using health claims data from one German federal state analysing all patients discontinuing a PETN treatment. Patients starting a new alternative anti-anginal treatment (long-acting nitrates, molsidome, ivabradine and ranolazine) were compared with patien

Low increase in cGMP induced by organic nitrates and nitrovasodilators improves contractile response of rat ventricular myocytes.

Whether organic nitrates are bioactivated to NO in cardiac muscle cells and may thus directly affect cardiac contractile function has remained an open question. Therefore, we determined the effects of the organic nitrates glyceryl trinitrate (100 mumol/L), pentaerythritol tetranitrate (10 mumol/L), and isosorbide-5-mononitrate on electrically stimulated contractile response (CR) and cAMP and cGMP content of isolated adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes compared with different concentrations of the spontaneous NO donors S-nitroso-N-acetyl-d,1-penicillamine (SNAP) and 2,2-diethyl-1-hydroxy-1-nit…

Efficacy of the long-acting nitro vasodilator pentaerithrityl tetranitrate in patients with chronic stable angina pectoris receiving anti-anginal background therapy with beta-blockers: a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: The organic nitrate pentaerithrityl tetranitrate (PETN) has been shown to have ancillary properties that prevent the development of tolerance and endothelial dysfunction. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre study ('CLEOPATRA' study) was designed to investigate the anti-ischaemic efficacy of PETN 80 mg b.i.d. (morning and mid-day) over placebo in patients with chronic stable angina pectoris. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 655 patients were evaluated in the intention-to-treat population, randomized to PETN (80 mg b.i.d., n = 328) or placebo (n = 327) and

Gelatin-based hydrogels as a novel medium for efficient recovery of organic explosives from post-blast residues: A forensic perspective.

Post-blast residue analysis is critical for forensic investigations, enabling the identification of organic explosives like Trinitrotoluene (TNT), Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), and 2-Nitrotoluene (2-NT) to reconstruct crime scenes and link perpetrators to illicit activities. Efficient collection of residues from diverse surfaces is essential for accurate forensic analysis, and ensuring justice. Traditional methods, such as cotton swabbing or solvent washing, recover only 50-70 % of residues and are prone to contamination, sample loss, and inefficiency on porous or irregular surfaces. A …

Pentaerythrityltetranitrate (PETN) improves utero- and feto-placental Doppler parameters in pregnancies with impaired utero-placental perfusion in mid-gestation - a secondary analysis of the PETN-pilot trial.

AIM: In pregnancies complicated by impaired utero-placental perfusion, pentaeritrithyltetranitrate (PETN) has been shown to reduce the risk of severe fetal growth restriction (FGR) and perinatal death by 39%. The effect is most likely related to the vasodilatative influence of PETN. To assess its impact on utero-placental and fetal perfusion, we analyzed the Doppler parameters measured during the PETN pilot-trial. METHODS: One hundred and eleven pregnancies presenting impaired utero-placental resistance at mid-gestation were included in the trial. Fifty-four women received PETN, while 57 rece

Theoretical study of potential energetic material PETN/DNTF eutectic explosive based on molecular dynamics method.

CONTEXT: Research on novel co-crystals has long been a focal point in the field of high-energy material modification. In the present exploration, density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to investigate the properties of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN)/3,4-dinitrofurazanofurazan (DNTF) mixtures across a molar fraction interval of 9:1 to 1:9. This study incorporated a comprehensive analysis of multiple key characteristics, encompassing the surface electrostatic potential of molecules, atomic interaction lines, binding energy values, trigger bond l…

[Therapy with NO donors-antiatherogenic and antioxidant actions].

Nitric acid esters such as glyceryl trinitrate were introduced into therapy more than a century ago and are still widely used for the treatment of myocardial ischemia and its main symptom angina pectoris. The basic mechanisms responsible for the vasodilatory and anti-ischemic action of organic nitrates involve bioactivation of, and nitric oxide (NO) release from, these compounds which have therefore been termed NO donors. The organic nitrate pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) is known to possess antioxidant properties that are thought to be the underlying cause for its specific pharmacologica…

Clinical pharmacokinetics of vasodilators. Part II.

Stimulating cardiac beta 1-adrenoceptors with oxyfedrine causes dilatation of coronary vessels and positive inotropic effects on the myocardium. beta 1-adrenergic agonists increase coronary blood flow in nonstenotic and stenotic vessels. The main indication for the use of the phosphodiesterase inhibitors pamrinone, mirinone, enoximone and piroximone is acute treatment of severe congestive heart failure. Theophylline is indicated for the treatment of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, apnea in preterm infants ans sleep apnea syndrome. Severe arterial occlusive disease associated wit

The antioxidant defense protein ferritin is a novel and specific target for pentaerithrityl tetranitrate in endothelial cells.

The organic nitrate pentaerithrityl tetranitrate (PETN) is known to exert long-term antioxidant and antiatherogenic effects by as yet unidentified mechanisms. In porcine aortic endothelial cells, a 24 h incubation with PETN (1-100 microM) or its metabolite pentaerithrityl trinitrate (PETriN) increased levels of the antioxidant protein ferritin up to three-fold over basal, whereas isosorbide dinitrate and isosorbide-5-mononitrate were without significant effect under these conditions. PETriN-induced ferritin expression was blocked by the NO scavenger PTIO but remained unaltered in the presence

Does Pentaerytrithyltetranitrate reduce fetal growth restriction in pregnancies complicated by uterine mal-perfusion? Study protocol of the PETN-study: a randomized controlled multicenter-trial.

BACKGROUND: Affecting approximately 10% of pregnancies, fetal growth restriction (FGR), is the most important cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. Impaired placental function and consequent mal-perfusion of the placenta is the leading cause of FGR. Although, screening for placental insufficiency based on uterine artery Doppler measurement is well established, there is no treatment option for pregnancies threatened by FGR. The organic nitrate pentaerithrityl tetranitrate (PETN) is widely used for the treatment of cardiovascular disease and has been shown to have protective effects on hum

Impact of the nitric oxide-donor pentaerythrityl-tetranitrate on perinatal outcome in risk pregnancies: a prospective, randomized, double-blinded trial.

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preeclampsia (PE) are associated with impaired placentation. Patients who are at risk of developing both these disorders can be identified by abnormal uterine artery Doppler at mid-trimester pregnancy. Nitric oxide (NO)-donors like pentaerithrityl-tetranitrate (PETN) reduce the impedance in the uteroplacental vessels and possess protecting effects on the endothelium. We tested the effectiveness of the NO-donor PETN for secondary prevention of IUGR, PE, and preterm birth in pregnancies at risk. Some 111 women who presented with abnormal placental perfu

Long-term effects of early administered sildenafil and NO donor on the cardiovascular system of SHR.

We evaluated the long-term effect of NO-donor, pentaerythrityl tetranitrate (Petn), and sildenafil citrate (sildenafil) on the cardiovascular system of the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). Petn (100 mg/kg/day) and sildenafil (10 mg/kg/day) were administered to SHR individually or together from week 4 (pre-hypertensive period) to week 9 of age. Blood pressure (BP) was measured using a plethysmographic method. The animals were perfused with a glutaraldehyde fixative (120 mmHg). Carotid (AC) and coronary artery (RS) were processed according to electron microscopy procedure. Geometry of the a

Cross-linking of serine racemase dimer by reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species.

Serine racemase (SR) is the only identified enzyme in mammals responsible for isomerization of L-serine to D-serine, a coagonist at N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the forebrain. Our previous data showed that an apparent SR dimer resistant to sodium dodecyl sulfate and β-mercaptoethanol was elevated in microglial cells after proinflammatory activation. Because the activation of microglia is typically associated with an oxidative burst, oxidative cross-linking between SR subunits was speculated. In this study, an siRNA technique was employed to confirm the identity of this SR dimer ban

[Recent advances in stable isotope ratio analysis of common explosives].

The ratio of stable isotopes of the elements in explosives differs depending on the raw materials obtained from different geographical sourc … the stable isotope ratio analysis of common explosives such as ammonium nitrate, black powder, TNT, pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), and cyclotrimethylene trinitroamine (RDX) are reviewed. The bulk stable isotopic ratio analysis method was used in most of the studies to determine the total isotope ratio of the sample. A compound-specific isotope analysis method was also e …

Identification of iron metabolism-related predictive markers of endometriosis and endometriosis-relevant ovarian cancer.

Endometriosis is associated with ovarian cancers, mainly endometrioid and clear-cell carcinomas. Iron metabolism has been shown to play a role in endometriosis. Therefore, it is vital to explore the relationship between iron metabolism and ovarian cancer and to identify novel markers for diagnostics and therapeutics. The endometriosis dataset GSE51981 and the ovarian cancer dataset GSE26712 were obtained from the gene expression omnibus database, and differentially expressed genes were identified. Iron metabolism genes were obtained from molecular signatures database, and hub genes from the 3
