Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) is an important reactive nitrogen that is associated with various states in physiology and pathology and plays a unique function in living systems. So, it is important to exploit fluorescent probes with high sensitivity and selectivity for sensing HNO. In this paper, a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe for HNO was developed utilizing intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanisms. The probe selected coumarin as energy donor, naphthalimide as energy receptor and 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzoate as the sensing site for detecting HNO. When HNO was not present, the 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzoate unit of the probe restricted electron transfer and the ICT process could not occur, leading to the inhibition of FRET process as well. Thus, in the absence of HNO the probe displayed the intrinsic blue fluorescence of coumarin. When HNO was added, the HNO reacted with the 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzoate unit of the probe to yield a hydroxyl group which resulting in the opening of ICT process and the occurring of FRET process. Thus, after providing HNO the probe displayed yellow fluorescence. In addition, the probe showed good linearity in the ratio of fluorescence intensity at 545 nm and 472 nm (I545 nm/I472 nm) with a concentration of HNO (0.1-20 μM). The probe processed a detection limit of 0.014 μM and a response time of 4 min. The probe also specifically identified HNO over a wide pH scope (pH = 4.00-10.00), including physiological conditions. Cellular experiments had shown that this fluorescent probe was virtually non-cytotoxic and could be applied for ratiometric sensing of HNO in A549 cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydroxylamine (HA) is vital industrial raw material and pharmaceutical intermediate. In addition, HA is an important cellular metabolite, which is intermediate in the formation of nitric oxide and nitroxide. However, excessive amounts of HA are toxic to both animals and plants. Conventional methods for the detection of HA are cumbersome and complicated. The detection of HA with fluorescent probes is convenient and sensitive. There are few probes available for the detection of hydroxylamine. Therefore, a fluorescent probe for the sensitive and selective detection of HA was developed in this work. RESULTS A coumarin derivative SWJT-22 was synthesized as a colorimetric fluorescent probe to detect hydroxylamine (HA), with high sensitivity and selectivity. The detection limit of the probe to HA was 0.15 μM, which was lower than most probes of HA. Upon the addition of HA to aqueous solution containing SWJT-22, the color of the solution changed from orange to yellow, and the fluorescence color also changed from orange to green. The reaction mechanism of SWJT-22 to HA was confirmed by 1H NMR titrations, mass spectrometry and round bottom flask experiments. Moreover, SWJT-22 had been fabricated into portable test strips for the detection of HA. SWJT-22 had been successfully used in cellular imaging and could detect both endogenous and exogenous HA in HeLa cells and RAW 264.7 cells. SIGNIFICANCE Due to the physiological role of hydroxylamine in organisms, it is crucial to detect hydroxylamine selectively and sensitively. This work provided a convenient tool for the detection of hydroxylamine, not only to detect endogenous and exogenous HA in cells, but also made into portable test strips. The HA fluorescent probe SWJT-22 is expected to promote the study of HA in physiological processes.

Abstract
Caged gem-dithiols have been developed as the donors of reactive sulfur species (RSS), but the chemistry of free gem-dithiols as RSS donors has not been well understood. Herein, we report the study of a free gem-dithiol, 1,3-diphenylpropane-2,2-dithiol, as the precursor for several RSS. It releases H2S under physiological conditions and can be converted to a mono-S-nitrosothiol, which serves as a NO donor. Furthermore, it can be converted to 3,3-dibenzyldithiirane, which is an active sulfur transfer reagent and can induce S-persulfidation.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) exhibits unique favorable properties in regulating biological and pharmacological activities. However, currently, there is only one Cu-based HNO sensor that can be recycled for reusable detection, which is a Cu cyclam derivative with a mixed thia/aza ligand. To elucidate the missing mechanistic origin of its high HNO reactivity and subsequent favorable conformation change toward a stable CuI product that is critical to be oxidized back by the physiological O2 level for HNO detection again, a density functional theory (DFT) computational study was performed. It not only reproduced experimental structural and reaction properties but also, more importantly, revealed an unknown role of the coordination atom in high reactivity. Its conformation change mechanism was found to not follow the previously proposed one but involve a novel favorable rotation pathway. Several newly designed complexes incorporating beneficial effects of coordination atoms and substituents to further enhance HNO reactivity while maintaining or even improving favorable conformation changes for reusable HNO detection were computationally validated. These novel results will facilitate the future development of reusable HNO sensors for true spatiotemporal resolution and repeated detection.

Abstract
Bacillithiol (BSH) replaces glutathione (GSH) as the most prominent low-molecular-weight thiol in many low G + C gram-positive bacteria. BSH plays roles in metal binding, protein/enzyme regulation, detoxification, redox buffering, and bacterial virulence. Given the small amounts of BSH isolated from natural sources and relatively lengthy chemical syntheses, the reactions of BSH with pertinent reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur species remain largely unexplored. We prepared BSH and exposed it to nitroxyl (HNO), a reactive nitrogen species that influences bacterial sulfur metabolism. The profile of this reaction was distinct from HNO oxidation of GSH, which yielded mixtures of disulfide and sulfinamide. The reaction of BSH and HNO (generated from Angeli's salt) gives only sulfinamide products, including a newly proposed cyclic sulfinamide. Treatment of a glucosamine-cysteine conjugate, which lacks the malic acid group, with HNO forms disulfide, implicating the malic acid group in sulfinamide formation. This finding supports a mechanism involving the formation of an N-hydroxysulfenamide intermediate that dehydrates to a sulfenium ion that can be trapped by water or internally trapped by an amide nitrogen to give the cyclic sulfinamide. The biological relevance of BSH reactivity toward HNO is provided through in vivo experiments demonstrating that Bacillus subtilis exposed to HNO shows a growth phenotype, and a strain unable to produce BSH shows hypersensitivity toward HNO in minimal medium cultures. Thiol analysis of HNO-exposed cultures shows an overall decrease in reduced BSH levels, which is not accompanied by increased levels of BSSB, supporting a model involving the formation of an oxidized sulfinamide derivative, identified in vivo by high-pressure liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Collectively, these findings reveal the unique chemistry and biology of HNO with BSH in bacteria that produce this biothiol.

Abstract
M1 macrophages enter a glycolytic state when endogenous nitric oxide (NO) reprograms mitochondrial metabolism by limiting aconitase 2 and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity. Here, we provide evidence that NO targets the PDH complex by using lipoate to generate nitroxyl (HNO). PDH E2-associated lipoate is modified in NO-rich macrophages while the PDH E3 enzyme, also known as dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD), is irreversibly inhibited. Mechanistically, we show that lipoate facilitates NO-mediated production of HNO, which interacts with thiols forming irreversible modifications including sulfinamide. In addition, we reveal a macrophage signature of proteins with reduction-resistant modifications, including in DLD, and identify potential HNO targets. Consistently, DLD enzyme is modified in an HNO-dependent manner at Cys477 and Cys484, and molecular modeling and mutagenesis show these modifications impair the formation of DLD homodimers. In conclusion, our work demonstrates that HNO is produced physiologically. Moreover, the production of HNO is dependent on the lipoate-rich PDH complex facilitating irreversible modifications that are critical to NO-dependent metabolic rewiring.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) is the one-electron reduced and protonated congener of nitric oxide (•NO), owning a distinct chemical profile. Based on real-time detection, we demonstrate that HNO is endogenously formed in Arabidopsis. Senescence and hypoxia induce shifts in the redox balance, triggering HNO decay or formation mediated by non-enzymatic •NO/HNO interconversion with cellular reductants. The stimuli-dependent HNO generation supports or competes with •NO signalling, depending on the local redox environment.

Abstract
Donors of nitroxyl and nitroxyl anion (HNO/NO−) are considered to be promising pharmacological treatments with a wide range of applications. Remarkable chemical properties allow nitroxyl to function as a classic antioxidant. We assume that HNO/NO− can level down the non-enzymatic glycation of biomolecules. Since erythrocyte hemoglobin (Hb) is highly susceptible to non-enzymatic glycation, we studied the effect of a nitroxyl donor, Angeli’s salt, on Hb modification with methylglyoxal (MG) and organic peroxide―tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BOOH). Nitroxyl dose-dependently decreased the amount of protein carbonyls and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that were formed in the case of Hb incubation with MG. Likewise, nitroxyl effectively protected Hb against oxidative modification with t-BOOH. It slowed down the destruction of heme, formation of carbonyl derivatives and inter-subunit cross-linking. The protective effect of nitroxyl on Hb in this system is primarily associated with nitrosylation of oxidized Hb and reduction of its ferryl form, which lowers the yield of free radical products. We suppose that the dual (antioxidant and antiglycation) effect of nitroxyl makes its application possible as part of an additional treatment strategy for oxidative and carbonyl stress-associated diseases.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) has been identified as an important signaling molecule in biological systems, and it plays critical roles in many physiological processes. However, its detection remains challenging because of the limited sensitivity and/or specificity of existing detection methods. Low-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and imaging, coupled with the use of exogenous paramagnetic probes, have been indispensable techniques for the in vivo measurement of various physiological parameters owing to their specificity, noninvasiveness and good depth of magnetic field penetration in animal tissues. However, the in vivo detection of HNO levels by EPR spectroscopy and imaging is limited due to the need for improved probes. We report the first "turn on-response" EPR probe for HNO utilizing a Cu(ii) coordination-containing TAM radical (denoted as CuII[TD1]). Upon reaction with HNO, CuII[TD1] shows a 16.1-fold turn-on in EPR signal with a low detection limit of 1.95 μM. Moreover, low-temperature EPR spectroscopic and ESI-MS studies showed that the sensing mechanism relies on the reduction of Cu(ii) by HNO. Lastly, CuII[TD1] is selective for HNO over other reactive nitrogen and oxygen species except for some reductants (Cys and Asc). This new Cu(ii) coordination-containing TAM radical shows great potential for in vivo EPR HNO applications in the absence of reducing agents and provides insights into developing improved and targeted EPR HNO probes for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) is a member of the reactive nitrogen species, and how to detect it quickly and accurately is a challenging task. In this work, we designed and prepared a fluorescent ratiometric probe based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism, which can detect HNO with high selectivity. The coumarin derivative was used as an energy donor, the rhodol derivative was applied as an energy receptor, and 2-(diphenylphosphine)benzoate was utilized as the recognition group to detect nitroxyl. In the absence of HNO, the rhodol derivative exists in a non-fluorescent spironolactone state, and the FRET process is inhibited. Upon adding HNO, the closed spironolactone form is transformed into a conjugated xanthene structure and the FRET process occurs. This probe could specifically recognize nitroxyl, showing high sensitivity and selectivity. When the HNO concentration was changed from 3.0 × 10-7 to 2.0 × 10-5 mol·L-1, I 543nm/I 470nm exhibited a satisfactory linear correlation with the concentration of HNO. A detection limit of 7.0 × 10-8 mol·L-1 was obtained. In addition, almost no cell toxicity had been verified for the probe. The probe had been successfully applied to the ratiometric fluorescence imaging of HNO in HepG2 cells.

Abstract
Redox signaling, wherein reactive and diffusible small molecules are channeled into specific messenger functions, is a critical component of signal transduction. A central principle of redox signaling is that the redox modulators are produced in a highly controlled fashion to specifically modify biotargets. Thiols serve as primary mediators of redox signaling as a function of the rich variety of adducts, which allows initiation of distinct cellular effects. Coupling the inherent reactivity of thiols with highly sensitive and selective chemical analysis protocols can facilitate identification of redox signaling agents, both in solution and in cultured cells. Here, we describe use of capillary zone electrophoresis to both identify and quantify sulfinamides, which are specific markers of the reaction of thiols with nitroxyl (HNO), a putative biologically relevant reactive nitrogen species.

Abstract
HNO (nitroxyl, IUPAC name azanone) is an electrophilic reactive nitrogen species of growing pharmacological and biological significance. Here, we present data on the pH-dependent kinetics of azanone reactions with the low molecular thiols glutathione and N-acetylcysteine, as well as with important serum proteins: bovine serum albumin and human serum albumin. The competition kinetics method used is based on two parallel HNO reactions: with RSH/RS- or with O2. The results provide evidence that the reaction of azanone with the anionic form of thiols (RS-) is favored over reactions with the protonated form (RSH). The data are supported with quantum mechanical calculations. A comprehensive discussion of the HNO reaction with thiolates is provided.

Abstract
HNO (nitroxyl, azanone), joined the 'biologically relevant reactive nitrogen species' family in the 2000s. Azanone is impossible to store due to its high reactivity and inherent low stability. Consequently, its chemistry and effects are studied using donor compounds, which release this molecule in solution and in the gas phase upon stimulation. Researchers have also tried to stabilize this elusive species and its conjugate base by coordination to metal centers using several ligands, like metalloporphyrins and pincer ligands. Given HNO's high reactivity and short lifetime, several different strategies have been proposed for its detection in chemical and biological systems, such as colorimetric methods, EPR, HPLC, mass spectrometry, fluorescent probes, and electrochemical analysis. These approaches are described and critically compared. Finally, in the last ten years, several advances regarding the possibility of endogenous HNO generation were made; some of them are also revised in the present work.

Abstract
The interconversion of NO and HNO, via copper zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD), is important in biomedicine and for HNO detection. Many mechanistic questions, including the decades-long debate on reversibility, were resolved in this work. Calculations of various active-site and full-protein models show that the basic mechanism is proton-coupled electron transfer with a computed barrier of 10.98 kcal mol-1 , which is in excellent agreement with experimental results (10.62 kcal mol-1 ), and this nonheme protein-mediated reaction has many significant mechanistic differences compared with the conversions mediated by heme proteins due to geometric and electronic factors. The reasons for the irreversible nature of this conversion and models with the first thermodynamically favorable and kinetically feasible mechanism for the experimental reverse reaction were discovered. Such results are the first for nonheme enzyme mediated HNO to NO conversions, which shall facilitate other related studies and HNO probe development.

Abstract
Azanone (HNO/NO-), also called nitroxyl, is a highly reactive compound whose biological role is still a matter of debate. A key issue that remains to be clarified regarding HNO and its biological activity is that of its endogenous formation. Given the overlap of the molecular targets and reactivity of nitric oxide (NO•) and HNO, its chemical biology was perceived to be similar to that of NO• as a biological signaling agent. However, despite their closely related reactivity, NO• and HNO's biochemical pathways are quite different. Moreover, the reduction of nitric oxide to azanone is possible but necessarily coupled to other reactions, which drive the reaction forward, overcoming the unfavorable thermodynamic barrier. The mechanism of this NO•/HNO interplay and its downstream effects in different contexts were studied recently, showing that more than fifteen moderate reducing agents react with NO• producing HNO. Particularly, it is known that the reaction between nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) produces HNO. However, this rate constant was not reported yet. In this work, firstly the NO•/H2S effective rate constant was measured as a function of the pH. Then, the implications of these chemical (non-enzymatic), biologically compatible, routes to endogenous HNO formation was discussed. There is no doubt that HNO could be (is?) a new endogenously produced messenger that mediates specific physiological responses, many of which were attributed yet to direct NO• effects.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO), a one-electron reduction product of nitric oxide, demonstrates distinct biological and pharmacological activities. Here we designed a bioluminescent turn-on probe, HNO-8, that could be used to visualize HNO without the need for excitation light. HNO-8 was prepared by caging 2-hydroxyethyl luciferin with a triphenylphosphine unit, in which 2-hydroxyethyl luciferin as a novel substrate of firefly luciferase was characterized by stronger and more sustained bioluminescent signals than the most popular substrates of d-luciferin and 6'-aminoluciferin. In vitro experiments showed that HNO-8 could selectively respond to HNO generated from Angeli's salt(AS) in the range 1-50 μM, with a limit of detection of 0.196 μM. The probe was successfully applied for visualizing HNO in luciferase-transfected Huh7 cancer cells. We envision that HNO-8 could be used as a powerful bioluminescent sensor for researching HNO biological roles.

Abstract
Significance: As one-electron reduced molecule of nitric oxide (NO), nitroxyl (HNO) has gained enormous attention because of its novel physiological or pharmacological properties, ranging from cardiovascular protective actions to antitumoricidal effects. Recent Advances: HNO is emerging as a new entity with therapeutic advantages over its redox sibling, NO. The interests in the chemical, pharmacological, and biological characteristics of HNO have broadened our current understanding of its role in physiology and pathophysiology. Critical Issues: In particular, the experimental evidence suggests the therapeutic potential of HNO in tumor pharmacology, such as neuroblastoma, gastrointestinal tumor, ovarian, lung, and breast cancers. Indeed, HNO donors have been demonstrated to attenuate tumor proliferation and angiogenesis. Future Directions: In this review, the generation and detection of HNO are outlined, and the roles of HNO in cancer progression are further discussed. We anticipate that the completion of this review might give novel insights into the roles of HNO in cancer pharmacology and open up a novel field of cancer therapy based on HNO.

Abstract
The free radical nitric oxide (NO•) exerts biological effects through the direct and reversible interaction with specific targets (e.g. soluble guanylate cyclase) or through the generation of secondary species, many of which can oxidize, nitrosate or nitrate biomolecules. The NO•-derived reactive species are typically short-lived, and their preferential fates depend on kinetic and compartmentalization aspects. Their detection and quantification are technically challenging. In general, the strategies employed are based either on the detection of relatively stable end products or on the use of synthetic probes, and they are not always selective for a particular species. In this study, we describe the biologically relevant characteristics of the reactive species formed downstream from NO•, and we discuss the approaches currently available for the analysis of NO•, nitrogen dioxide (NO2 •), dinitrogen trioxide (N2O3), nitroxyl (HNO), and peroxynitrite (ONOO-/ONOOH), as well as peroxynitrite-derived hydroxyl (HO•) and carbonate anion (CO3 •-) radicals. We also discuss the biological origins of and analytical tools for detecting nitrite (NO2 -), nitrate (NO3 -), nitrosyl-metal complexes, S-nitrosothiols, and 3-nitrotyrosine. Moreover, we highlight state-of-the-art methods, alert readers to caveats of widely used techniques, and encourage retirement of approaches that have been supplanted by more reliable and selective tools for detecting and measuring NO•-derived oxidants. We emphasize that the use of appropriate analytical methods needs to be strongly grounded in a chemical and biochemical understanding of the species and mechanistic pathways involved.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) positively modulates myocardial function by accelerating Ca2+ reuptake into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). HNO-induced enhancement of myocardial Ca2+ cycling and function is due to the modification of cysteines in the transmembrane domain of phospholamban (PLN), which results in activation of SR Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2a) by functionally uncoupling PLN from SERCA2a. However, which cysteines are modified by HNO, and whether HNO induces reversible disulfides or single cysteine sulfinamides (RS(O)NH2) that are less easily reversed by reductants, remain to be determined. Using an 15N-edited NMR method for sulfinamide detection, we first demonstrate that Cys46 and Cys41 are the main targets of HNO reactivity with PLN. Supporting this conclusion, mutation of PLN cysteines 46 and 41 to alanine reduces the HNO-induced enhancement of SERCA2a activity. Treatment of WT-PLN with HNO leads to sulfinamide formation when the HNO donor is in excess, whereas disulfide formation is expected to dominate when the HNO/thiol stoichiometry approaches a 1:1 ratio that is more similar to that anticipated in vivo under normal, physiological conditions. Thus, 15N-edited NMR spectroscopy detects redox changes on thiols that are unique to HNO, greatly advancing the ability to detect HNO footprints in biological systems, while further differentiating HNO-induced post-translational modifications from those imparted by other reactive nitrogen or oxygen species. The present study confirms the potential of HNO as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
The discovery of nitric oxide (NO) as an endogenously generated signaling species in mammalian cells has spawned a vast interest in the study of the chemical biology of nitrogen oxides. Of these, nitroxyl (azanone, HNO) has gained much attention for its potential role as a therapeutic for cardiovascular disease. Known targets of HNO include hemes/heme proteins and thiols/thiol-containing proteins. Recently, due to their roles in redox signaling and cellular defense, selenols and selenoproteins have also been speculated to be additional potential targets of HNO. Indeed, as determined in the current work, selenols are targeted by HNO. Such reactions appear to result only in formation of diselenide products, which can be easily reverted back to the free selenol. This characteristic is distinct from the reaction of HNO with thiols/thiolproteins. These findings suggest that, unlike thiolproteins, selenoproteins are resistant to irreversible oxidative modification, support that Nature may have chosen to use selenium instead of sulfur in certain biological systems for its enhanced resistance to electrophilic and oxidative modification.

Abstract
![]()
Metallonitrosyl
complexes are promising as nitric oxide (NO) donors
for the treatment of cardiovascular, endothelial, and pathogenic diseases,
as well as cancer. Recently, the reduced form of NO– (protonated as HNO, nitroxyl, azanone, isoelectronic with O2) has also emerged as a candidate for therapeutic applications
including treatment of acute heart failure and alcoholism. Here, we
show that HNO is a product of the reaction of the RuII complex
[Ru(bpy)2(SO3)(NO)]+ (1) with glutathione or N-acetyl-L-cysteine, using met-myoglobin and carboxy-PTIO (2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide)
as trapping agents. Characteristic absorption spectroscopic profiles
for HNO reactions with met-myoglobin were obtained, as well as EPR
evidence from carboxy-PTIO experiments. Importantly, the product HNO
counteracted NO-induced as well as hypoxia-induced stabilization of
the tumor-suppressor HIF-1α in cancer cells. The functional
disruption of neovascularization by HNO produced by this metallonitrosyl
complex was demonstrated in an in vitro angiogenesis
model. This behavior is consistent with HNO biochemistry and contrasts
with NO-mediated stabilization of HIF-1α. Together, these results
demonstrate for the first time thiol-dependent production of HNO by
a ruthenium complex and subsequent destabilization of HIF-1α.
This work suggests that the complex warrants further investigation
as a promising antiangiogenesis agent for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO), the one-electron reduced form of nitric oxide (NO), shows a distinct chemical and biological profile from that of NO. HNO is currently being viewed as a vasodilator and positive inotropic agent that can be used as a potential treatment for heart failure. The ability of HNO to react with thiols and thiol containing proteins is largely used to explain the possible biological actions of HNO. Herein, we summarize different aspects related to HNO including HNO donors, chemistry, biology, and methods used for its detection.

Abstract
Historically acknowledged as toxic gases, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and nitric oxide (NO) are now recognized as the predominant members of a new family of signaling molecules, “gasotransmitters” in mammals. While H2S is biosynthesized by three constitutively expressed enzymes (CBS, CSE, and 3-MST) from L-cysteine and homocysteine, NO is generated endogenously from L-arginine by the action of various isoforms of NOS. Both gases have been transpired as the key and independent regulators of many physiological functions in mammalian cardiovascular, nervous, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and immune systems. The analogy between these two gasotransmitters is evident not only from their paracrine mode of signaling, but also from the identical and/or shared signaling transduction pathways. With the plethora of research in the pathophysiological role of gasotransmitters in various systems, the existence of interplay between these gases is being widely accepted. Chemical interaction between NO and H2S may generate nitroxyl (HNO), which plays a specific effective role within the cardiovascular system. In this review article, we have attempted to provide current understanding of the individual and interactive roles of H2S and NO signaling in mammalian cardiovascular system, focusing particularly on heart contractility, cardioprotection, vascular tone, angiogenesis, and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) has a highly diverse range of biological functions from physiological signaling and maintenance of homeostasis to serving as an effector molecule in the immune system. However, deleterious as well as beneficial roles of NO have been reported. Many of the dichotomous effects of NO and derivative reactive nitrogen species (RNS) can be explained by invoking precise interactions with different targets as a result of concentration and temporal constraints. Endogenous concentrations of NO span five orders of magnitude, with levels near the high picomolar range typically occurring in short bursts as compared to sustained production of low micromolar levels of NO during immune response. This article provides an overview of the redox landscape as it relates to increasing NO concentrations, which incrementally govern physiological signaling, nitrosative signaling and nitrosative stress-related signaling. Physiological signaling by NO primarily occurs upon interaction with the heme protein soluble guanylyl cyclase. As NO concentrations rise, interactions with nonheme iron complexes as well as indirect modification of thiols can stimulate additional signaling processes. At the highest levels of NO, production of a broader range of RNS, which subsequently interact with more diverse targets, can lead to chemical stress. However, even under such conditions, there is evidence that stress-related signaling mechanisms are triggered to protect cells or even resolve the stress. This review therefore also addresses the fundamental reactions and kinetics that initiate signaling through NO-dependent pathways, including processes that lead to interconversion of RNS and interactions with molecular targets.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) donors exhibit promising pharmacological characteristics for treatment of cardiovascular disorders, cancer, and alcoholism. However, whether HNO also serves as an endogenous signaling agent is currently unknown, largely because of the inability to selectively and sensitively detect HNO in a cellular environment. Although a number of methods to detect HNO have been developed recently, sensitivity and selectivity against other nitrogen oxides or biological reductants remain problematic. To improve selectivity, the electrophilic nature of HNO has been harnessed to generate modifications of thiols and phosphines that are unique to HNO, especially compared to nitric oxide (NO). Given high bioavailability, glutathione (GSH) is expected to be a major target of HNO. As a result, the putative selective product glutathione sulfinamide (GS(O)NH2) may serve as a high-yield biomarker of HNO production. In this work, the formation of GS(O)NH2 after exposure to HNO donors was investigated. Fluorescent labeling followed by separation and detection using capillary zone electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence allowed quantitation of GS(O)NH2 with nanomolar sensitivity, even in the presence of GSH and derivatives. Formation of GS(O)NH2 was found to occur exclusively upon exposure of GSH to HNO donors, thus confirming selectivity. GS(O)NH2 was detected in the lysate of cells treated with low-micromolar concentrations of HNO donors, verifying that this species has sufficient stability to server as a biomarker of HNO. Additionally, the concentration-dependent formation of GS(O)NH2 in cells treated with an HNO donor suggests that the concentration of GS(O)NH2 can be correlated to intracellular levels of HNO.

Azanone ((1)HNO, nitroxyl) shows interesting yet poorly understood chemical and biological effects. HNO has some overlapping properties with nitric oxide (NO), sharing its biological reactivity toward heme proteins, thiols, and oxygen. Despite this similarity, HNO and NO show significantly different pharmacological effects. The high reactivity of HNO means that studies must rely on the use of donor molecules such as trioxodinitrate (Angeli's salt). It has been suggested that azanone could be an intermediate in several reactions and that it may be an enzymatically produced signaling molecule. The inherent difficulty in detecting its presence unequivocally prevents evidence from yielding definite answers. On the other hand, metalloporphyrins are widely used as chemical models of heme proteins, providing us with invaluable tools for the study of the coordination chemistry of small molecules, like NO, CO, and O2. Studies with transition metal porphyrins have shown diverse mechanistic, kinetic, structural, and reactive aspects related to the formation of nitrosyl complexes. Porphyrins are also widely used in technical applications, especially when coupled to a surface, where they can be used as electrochemical gas sensors. Given their versatility, they have not escaped their role as key players in chemical studies involving HNO. This Account presents the research performed during the last 10 years in our group concerning azanone reactions with iron, manganese, and cobalt porphyrins. We begin by describing their HNO trapping capabilities, which result in formation of the corresponding nitrosyl complexes. Kinetic and mechanistic studies of these reactions show two alternative operating mechanisms: reaction of the metal center with HNO or with the donor. Moreover, we have also shown that azanone can be stabilized by coordination to iron porphyrins using electron-attracting substituents attached to the porphyrin ring, which balance the negatively charged NO¯. Second, we describe an electrochemical HNO sensing device based on the covalent attachment of a cobalt porphyrin to gold. A surface effect affects the redox potentials and allows discrimination between HNO and NO. The reaction with the former is fast, efficient, and selective, lacking spurious signals due to the presence of reactive nitrogen and oxygen species. The sensor is both biologically compatible and highly sensitive (nanomolar). This time-resolved detection allows kinetic analysis of reactions producing HNO. The sensor thus offers excellent opportunities to be used in experiments looking for HNO. As examples, we present studies concerning (a) HNO donation capabilities of new HNO donors as assessed by the sensor, (b) HNO detection as an intermediate in O atom abstraction to nitrite by phosphines, and (c) NO to HNO interconversion mediated by alcohols and thiols. Finally, we briefly discuss the key experiments required to demonstrate endogenous HNO formation to be done in the near future, involving the in vivo use of the HNO sensing device.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several lines of evidence have indicated that nitric oxide (NO) plays complex and diverse roles in modulation of pain/analgesia. However, the roles of charged and uncharged congeners of NO are less well understood. In the present study, the antinociceptive effect of the nitroxyl (HNO) donor, Angeli's salt (Na2N2O3; AS) was investigated in models of overt pain-like behavior. Moreover, whether the antinociceptive effect of nitroxyl was dependent on the activation of cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate)/PKG (protein kinase G)/ATP-sensitive potassium channels was addressed. METHODS The antinociceptive effect of AS was evaluated on phenyl-p-benzoquinone (PBQ)- and acetic acid-induced writhings and via the formalin test. In addition, pharmacological treatments targeting guanylate cyclase (ODQ), PKG (KT5923) and ATP-sensitive potassium channel (glybenclamide) were used. RESULTS PBQ and acetic acid induced significant writhing responses over 20min. The nociceptive response in these models were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner by subcutaneous pre-treatment with AS. Furthermore, AS also inhibited both phases of the formalin test. Subsequently, the inhibitory effect of AS in writhing and flinching responses were prevented by ODQ, KT5823 and glybenclamide, although these inhibitors alone did not alter the writhing score. Furthermore, pretreatment with L-cysteine, an HNO scavenger, confirmed that the antinociceptive effect of AS depends on HNO. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrates the efficacy of a nitroxyl donor and its analgesic mechanisms in overt pain-like behavior by activating the cGMP/PKG/ATP-sensitive potassium channel (K(+)) signaling pathway.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO), a potential heart failure therapeutic, is known to post-translationally modify cysteine residues. Among reactive nitrogen oxide species, the modification of cysteine residues to sulfinamides [RS(O)NH2] is unique to HNO. We have applied (15)N-edited (1)H NMR techniques to detect the HNO-induced thiol to sulfinamide modification in several small organic molecules, peptides, and the cysteine protease, papain. Relevant reactions of sulfinamides involve reduction to free thiols in the presence of excess thiol and hydrolysis to form sulfinic acids [RS(O)OH]. We have investigated sulfinamide hydrolysis at physiological pH and temperature. Studies with papain and a related model peptide containing the active site thiol suggest that sulfinamide hydrolysis can be enhanced in a protein environment. These findings are also supported by modeling studies. In addition, analysis of peptide sulfinamides at various pH values suggests that hydrolysis becomes more facile under acidic conditions.

Abstract
Donors of nitroxyl (HNO) have shown promise for treatment of stroke, heart failure, alcoholism and cancer. However, comparing the pharmacological capacities of various donors is difficult without first quantifying the amount of HNO released from each donor. Detection and quantitation of HNO has been complicated by the rapid self-consumption of HNO through irreversible dimerization, poor selectivity of trapping agents against other nitrogen oxides, and/or low sensitivity towards HNO. Here, an assay is described for the trapping of HNO by glutathione (GSH) followed by labeling of GSH with the fluorogenic agent, naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde (NDA), and subsequent quantitation by fluorescence difference. The newly developed assay was used to validate the pH-dependence of HNO release from isopropylamine NONOate (IPA/NO), which is a dual donor of HNO and NO at physiological pH. Furthermore, varied assay conditions were utilized to suggest the ratios of the products of the reaction of GSH with HNO. At intracellular concentrations of GSH, the disulfide (GSSG) was the major product, but significant concentrations of glutathione sulfinamide (GS(O)NH₂) were also detected. This suggests that GS(O)NH₂, which is a selective biomarker of HNO, may be produced in concentrations that are amenable to in vivo analysis.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) reacts with thiols, and this reactivity requires the use of donors with 1-nitrosocyclohexyl acetate, pivalate, and trifluoroacetate, forming a new group. These acyloxy nitroso compounds inhibit glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) by forming a reduction reversible active site disulfide and a reduction irreversible sulfinic acid or sulfinamide modification at Cys244. Addition of these acyloxy nitroso compounds to AhpC C165S yields a sulfinic acid and sulfinamide modification. A potential mechanism for these transformations includes nucleophilic addition of the protein thiol to a nitroso compound to yield an N-hydroxysulfenamide, which reacts with thiol to give disulfide or rearranges to sulfinamides. Known HNO donors produce the unsubstituted protein sulfinamide as the major product, while the acetate and pivalate give substituted sulfinamides that hydrolyze to sulfinic acids. These results suggest that nitroso compounds form a general class of thiol-modifying compounds, allowing their further exploration.

Abstract
Angeli's salt (Na₂N₂O₃) decomposes into nitroxyl (HNO) and nitrite (NO₂(-)), compounds of physiological and therapeutic interest for their impact on biological signaling both through nitric oxide and nitric oxide independent pathways. Both nitrite and HNO oxidize oxygenated hemoglobin to methemoglobin. Earlier work has shown that HNO catalyzes the reduction of nitrite by deoxygenated hemoglobin. In this work, we have shown that HNO accelerates the oxidation of oxygenated hemoglobin by NO₂(-). We have demonstrated this HNO mediated acceleration of the nitrite/oxygenated hemoglobin reaction with oxygenated hemoglobin being in excess to HNO and nitrite (as would be found under physiological conditions) by monitoring the formation of methemoglobin in the presence of Angeli's salt with and without added NO₂(-). In addition, this acceleration has been demonstrated using the HNO donor 4-nitrosotetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl pivalate, a water-soluble acyloxy nitroso compound that does not release NO₂(-) but generates HNO in the presence of esterase. This HNO donor was used both with and without NO₂(-) and acceleration of the NO₂(-) induced formation of methemoglobin was observed. We found that the acceleration was not substantially affected by catalase, superoxide dismutase, c-PTIO, or IHP, suggesting that it is not due to formation of extramolecular peroxide, NO₂ or H₂O₂, or to modulation of allosteric properties. In addition, we found that the acceleration is not likely to be related to HNO binding to free reduced hemoglobin, as we found HNO binding to reduced hemoglobin to be much weaker than has previously been proposed. We suggest that the mechanism of the acceleration involves local propagation of autocatalysis in the nitrite-oxygenated Hb reaction. This acceleration of the nitrite oxyhemoglobin reaction could affect studies aimed at understanding physiological roles of HNO and perhaps nitrite and use of these agents in therapeutics such as hemolytic anemias, heart failure, and ischemia reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Nitric oxide, •NO, is one of the most important molecules in the biochemistry of living organisms. By contrast, nitroxyl, NO-, one-electron reduced analog of •NO which exists at physiological conditions in its protonated form, HNO, has been relatively overlooked. Recent data show that HNO might be produced endogenously and display unique biological effects. However, there is a lack of specific and quantitative methods of detection of endogenous HNO production. Here we present a new method for discriminative •NO and HNO detection by nitronyl nitroxides (NNs) using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). It was found that NNs react with •NO and HNO with similar rate constants of about 10(4) M(-1) s(-1) but yield different products: imino nitroxides and the hydroxylamine of imino nitroxides, correspondingly. An EPR approach for discriminative •NO and HNO detection using liposome-encapsulated NNs was developed. The membrane barrier of liposomes protects NNs against reduction in biological systems while is permeable to both analytes, •NO and HNO. The sensitivity of this approach for the detection of the rates of •NO/HNO generation is about 1 nM/s. The application of encapsulated NNs for real-time discriminative •NO/HNO detection might become a valuable tool in nitric oxide-related studies.
