[Dimeric and monomeric forms of dinitrosyl iron complexes with thiol-containing ligands: physico-chemical properties and vasodilator activity].

When studying the vasodilator activity of dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNIC) with thiol-containing ligands as NO donors, it should be taken into consideration that these complexes depending on the content of thiols in the environment can occur in either form that differ by their EPR, gamma-resonance and optical characteristics and also by their vasodilator effect on isolated blood vessels. The more stable diamagnetic form appears at the ratio...
