Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) plays an important role in various physiological activities. It has the potential to be used as a treatment for certain diseases such as alcohol poisoning, acute hypertension, and atherosclerosis. However, traditional methods for detecting HNO are challenging due to its rapid polymerization and elimination into N2O. Therefore, it is crucial to establish direct and effective HNO detection methods to comprehend these physiological processes better. In this study, a new near-infrared fluorescent probe called HXM-P based on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism was designed and synthesized. This probe employs 2-((6-hydroxy-2,3dihydro-1 H-xanthen-4-yl)methylene)malononitrile as a fluorophore and 2-(diphenylphosphine) benzoate as a recognition group. The results showed that probe HXM-P can detect HNO with high sensitivity (1.07 × 10- 8 M). A good linear correlation was observed between the fluorescence intensities at 640 nm and the concentrations of HNO in the range of 0-80 µM (R2 = 0.997). Moreover, probe HXM-P exhibited a rapid response rate (within 15 s) toward HNO, and the fluorescent intensity reached a plateau within 5 min, making it easier to track the highly reactive and short-lived HNO in living systems. Additionally, HXM-P was successfully employed for imaging HNO in HepG2 cells.

Abstract
Photolytic delivery of nitric oxide and nitroxide has substantial biomedical and phototherapeutic applications. Here, we utilized hard X-ray spectroscopic methods to identify key geometric and electronic structural features of two photolabile {FeNO}6 complexes where the compounds differ in the presence of a pendant thiol in [Fe(NO)(TMSPS2)(TMSPS2H)] and thioether in [Fe(NO)(TMSPS2)(TMSPS2CH3)] with the former complex being the only transition metal system to photolytically generate HNO. Fe Kβ XES identifies the photoreactant systems as essentially Fe(II)-NO+, while valence-to-core XES extracts a NO oxidation state of +0.5. Finally, the pre-edge of the Fe high-energy-resolution fluorescence detected (HERFD) XAS spectra is shown to be acutely sensitive to perturbation of the Fe-NO covalency enhanced by the 3d-4p orbital mixing dipole intensity contribution. Collectively, this X-ray spectroscopic approach enables future time-resolved insights in these systems and extensions to other challenging redox noninnocent {FeNO}x systems.

Abstract
HNO has broad chemical and biomedical properties. Metal complexes and derivatives are widely used to make excellent HNO sensors. However, their favorable mechanistic origins are largely unknown. Cu cyclam is a useful platform to make excellent HNO sensors including imaging agents. A quantum chemical study of Cu cyclams with various substitutions was performed, which reproduced diverse experimental reactivities. Structural, electronic, and energetic profiles along reaction pathways show the importance of HNO binding and a proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism for HNO reaction. Results reveal that steric effect is primary and electronic factor is secondary (if the redox potential is sufficient), but their interwoven effects can lead to unexpected reactivity, which looks mysterious experimentally but can be explained computationally. This work suggests rational substituent design ideas and recommends a theoretical study of a new design to save time and cost due to its subtle effect.

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
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
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
Many HNO-scavenging pathways exist to regulate its biological and pharmacological activities. Such reactions often involve ferric heme proteins and form an important basis for HNO probe development. However, mechanisms of HNO reactions with ferric heme proteins are largely unknown. We performed a computational investigation using metmyoglobin and catalase as representative ferric heme proteins with neutral and negatively charged axial ligands to provide the first detailed pathways. The results reproduced experimental barriers well with an average error of 0.11 kcal mol-1 . The rate-limiting step was found to be dissociation of the resting ligand or HNO coordination when there is no resting ligand. For both heme proteins, in contrast to the non-heme case, the reductive nitrosylation step was found to be barrierless proton-coupled electron transfer, which provides the major thermodynamic driving force for the overall reaction. The origin of the difference in reactivity between metmyoglobin and catalase was also revealed.

Abstract
HNO plays significant roles in many biological processes. Numerous heme proteins bind HNO, an important step for its biological functions. A systematic computational study was performed to provide the first detailed trends and origins of the effects of iron oxidation state, axial ligand, and protein environment on HNO binding. The results show that HNO binds much weaker with ferric porphyrins than corresponding ferrous systems, offering strong thermodynamic driving force for experimentally observed reductive nitrosylation. The axial ligand was found to influence HNO binding through its trans effect and charge donation effect. The protein environment significantly affects the HNO hydrogen bonding structures and properties. The predicted NMR and vibrational data are in excellent agreement with experiment. This broad range of results shall facilitate studies of HNO binding in many heme proteins, models, and related metalloproteins.

Abstract
Paramagnetic metals are frequently used to regulate fluorescence emissions in chemical and biological probes. Accurate quantum calculations offer the first regulation theory that quenching is through the competitive nonradiative decay of the mixed fluorophore/metal (3)ππ*/dd state isoenergetic to the fluorophore-localized (1)ππ* state.

Abstract
Diazeniumdiolate-based aspirin prodrugs have previously been shown to retain the anti-inflammatory properties of aspirin while protecting against the common side effect of stomach ulceration. Initial analysis of two new prodrugs of aspirin that also release either nitroxyl (HNO) or nitric oxide (NO) demonstrated increased cytotoxicity toward human lung carcinoma cells compared to either aspirin or the parent nitrogen oxide donor. In addition, cytotoxicity was significantly lower in endothelial cells, suggesting cancer-specific sensitivity. To assess the chemotherapeutic potential of these new prodrugs in treatment of breast cancer, we studied their effect both in cultured cells and in a nude mouse model. Both prodrugs reduced growth of breast adenocarcinoma cells more effectively than the parent compounds while not being appreciably cytotoxic in a related nontumorigenic cell line (MCF-10A). The HNO donor also was more cytotoxic than the related NO donor. The basis for the observed specificity was investigated in terms of impact on metabolism, DNA damage and repair, apoptosis, angiogenesis and metastasis. The results suggest a significant pharmacological potential for treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
HNO has broad biological effects and pharmacological activities. Direct HNO probes for in vivo applications were recently reported, which are CuII-based complexes having fluorescence reporters with reaction to HNO resulting in CuI systems and the release of NO. Their coordination environments are similar to that in Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD), which plays a significant role in cellular HNO/NO conversion. However, none of these conversion mechanisms are known. A quantum chemical investigation was performed here to provide structural, energetic, and electronic profiles of HNO/NO conversion pathways via the first CuII-based direct HNO probe. Results not only are consistent with experimental observations but also provide numerous structural and mechanistic details unknown before. Results also suggest the first HNO/NO conversion mechanism for Cu,Zn-SOD, as well as useful guidelines for future design of metal-based HNO probes. These results shall facilitate development of direct HNO probes and studies of HNO/NO conversions via metal complexes and metalloproteins.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) possesses unique and potentially important biological/physiological activity that is currently mechanistically ill-defined. Previous work has shown that the likely biological targets for HNO are thiol proteins, oxidized metalloproteins (i.e. ferric heme proteins) and, most likely, selenoproteins. Interestingly, these are the same classes of proteins that interact with H2O2. In fact, these classes of proteins not only react with H2O2, and thus potentially responsible for the signaling actions of H2O2, but are also responsible for the degradation of H2O2. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to speculate that HNO can affect H2O2 degradation by interacting with H2O2-degrading proteins possibly leading to an increase in H2O2-mediated signaling. Moreover, considering the commonality between HNO and H2O2 biological targets, it also seems likely that HNO-mediated signaling can also be due to reactivity at otherwise H2O2-reactive sites. Herein, it is found that HNO does indeed inhibit H2O2 degradation via inhibition of H2O2-metaboilizing proteins. Also, it is found that in a system known to be regulated by H2O2 (T cell activation), HNO behaves similarly to H2O2, indicating that HNO- and H2O2-signaling may be similar and/or intimately related.

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
Hydrogen sulfide, an important gaseous signaling agent generated in numerous biological tissues, influences many physiological processes. This biological profile seems reminiscent of nitric oxide, another important endogenously synthesized gaseous signaling molecule. Hydrogen sulfide reacts with nitric oxide or oxidized forms of nitric oxide and nitric oxide donors in vitro to form species that display distinct biology compared to both hydrogen sulfide and NO. The products of these interesting reactions may include small-molecule S-nitrosothiols or nitroxyl, the one-electron-reduced form of nitric oxide. In addition, thionitrous acid or thionitrite, compounds structurally analogous to nitrous acid and nitrite, may constitute a portion of the reaction products. Both the chemistry and the biology of thionitrous acid and thionitrite, compared to nitric oxide or hydrogen sulfide, remain poorly defined. General mechanisms for the formation of S-nitrosothiols, nitroxyl, and thionitrous acid based upon the ability of hydrogen sulfide to act as a nucleophile and a reducing agent with reactive nitric oxide-based intermediates are proposed. Hydrogen sulfide reactivity seems extensive and could have an impact on numerous areas of redox-controlled biology and chemistry, warranting more work in this exciting and developing area.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) has a unique, but varied, set of biological properties including beneficial effects on cardiac contractility and stimulation of glucose uptake by GLUT1. These biological effects are largely initiated by HNO's reaction with cysteine residues of key proteins. The intracellular production of HNO has not yet been demonstrated, but the small molecule, hydroxylamine (HA), has been suggested as possible intracellular source. We examined the effects of this molecule on glucose uptake in L929 fibroblast cells. HA activates glucose uptake from 2 to 5-fold within two minutes. Prior treatment with thiol-active compounds, such as iodoacetamide (IA), cinnamaldehyde (CA), or phenylarsine oxide (PAO) blocks HA-activation of glucose uptake. Incubation of HA with the peroxidase inhibitor, sodium azide, also blocks the stimulatory effects of HA. This suggests that HA is oxidized to HNO by L929 fibroblast cells, which then reacts with cysteine residues to exert its stimulatory effects. The data suggest that GLUT1 is acutely activated in L929 cells by modification of cysteine residues, possibly the formation of a disulfide bond within GLUT1 itself.

Abstract
The oxonitrate(1-) anion (NO(-)), the one-electron reduction product of nitric oxide and conjugate base of HNO, has not been synthesized and isolated due to the inherent reactivity of this anion. The large scale synthesis and characterization of a stable NO(-) salt is described here. The lithium salt of oxonitrate (LiNO) was formed by the deprotonation of N-hydroxybenzenesulfonamide with phenyllithium in aprotic, deoxygenated conditions. LiNO exhibited antiferromagnetic paramagnetism as determined by SQUID magnetometry, consistent with a triplet ground state of NO(-). LiNO reacted with HCl to yield nitrous oxide consistent with HNO formation and dimerization. LiNO consumed O(2) in a pH-dependent manner to initially produce peroxynitrite and eventually nitrite. Consistent with the reduction potential of NO, LiNO exhibited an oxidation potential of approximately +0.80 V as determined by reactions with a series of viologen electron acceptors. LiNO also reacted with ferric tetraphenylporphyrin chloride (Fe(TPP)Cl), potassium tetracyanonickelate (K(2)Ni(CN)(4)) and nitrosobenzene in a manner that is identical to other HNO/NO(-) donors. We conclude that the physical and chemical characteristics of LiNO are indistinguishable from the experimentally and theoretically derived data on oxonitrate (1-) anion. The bulk synthesis and isolation of a stable (3)NO(-) salt described here allow the chemical and physical properties of this elusive nitrogen oxide to be thoroughly studied as this once elusive nitrogen oxide is now attainable.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) has gained interest as a potential treatment of congestive heart failure through the ability of the HNO donor, Angeli's salt (AS), to evoke positive inotropic effects in canine cardiac muscle. The release of nitrite during decomposition limits the use of AS requiring other HNO sources. Acyloxy nitroso compounds liberate HNO and small amounts of nitrite upon hydrolysis and the synthesis of the water-soluble 4-nitrosotetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl acetate and pivalate allows for pig liver esterase (PLE)-catalysis increasing the rate of decomposition and HNO release. The pivalate derivative does not release HNO, but the addition of PLE catalyzes hydrolysis (t(1/2)=39 min) and HNO formation (65% after 30 min). In the presence of PLE, this compound converts metmyoglobin (MetMb) to iron nitrosyl Mb and oxyMb to metMb indicating that these compounds only react with heme proteins as HNO donors. The pivalate in the presence and the absence of PLE inhibits aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) with IC(50) values of 3.5 and 3.3 μM, respectively, in a time-dependent manner. Reversibility assays reveal reversible inhibition of ALDH in the absence of PLE and partially irreversible inhibition with PLE. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) reveals formation of a disulfide upon incubation of an ALDH peptide without PLE and a mixture of disulfide and sulfinamide in the presence of PLE. A dehydroalanine residue forms upon incubation of this peptide with excess AS. These results identify acyloxy nitroso compounds as unique HNO donors capable of thiol modification through direct electrophilic reaction or HNO release.

Abstract
HNO (nitroxyl) has been found to have many physiological effects in numerous biological processes. Computational investigations have been employed to help understand the structural properties of HNO complexes and HNO reactivities in some interesting biologically relevant systems. The following computational aspects were reviewed in this work: 1) structural and energetic properties of HNO isomers; 2) interactions between HNO and non-metal molecules; 3) structural and spectroscopic properties of HNO metal complexes; 4) HNO reactions with biologically important non-metal systems; 5) involvement of HNO in reactions of metal complexes and metalloproteins. Results indicate that computational investigations are very helpful to elucidate interesting experimental phenomena and provide new insights into unique structural, spectroscopic, and mechanistic properties of HNO involvement in biology.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) is a molecule of significant interest due to its unique pharmacological properties, particularly within the cardiovascular system. A large portion of HNO biological effects can be attributed to its reactivity with protein thiols, where it can generate disulfide bonds. Evidence from studies in erythrocytes suggests that the activity of GLUT1 is enhanced by the formation of an internal disulfide bond. However, there are no reports that document the effects of HNO on glucose uptake. Therefore, we examined the acute effects of Angeli's salt (AS), a HNO donor, on glucose uptake activity of GLUT1 in L929 fibroblast cells. We report that AS stimulates glucose uptake with a maximum effective concentration of 5.0 mM. An initial 7.2-fold increase occurs within 2 min, which decreases and plateaus to a 4.0-fold activation after 10 min. About 60% of the 4.0-fold activation recovers within 10 min, and 40% remains after an hour. The activation is blocked by the pretreatment of cells with thiol-reactive compounds, iodoacetamide (0.75 mM), cinnamaldehyde (2.0 mM), and phenylarsine oxide (10 μM). The effects of AS are not additive to the stimulatory effects of other acute activators of glucose uptake in L929 cells, such as azide (5 mM), berberine (50 μM), or glucose deprivation. These data suggest that GLUT1 is acutely activated in L929 cells by the formation of a disulfide bond, likely within GLUT1 itself.

Abstract
Due to recent discoveries of important and novel biological activity, nitroxyl (HNO) has become a molecule of significant interest. Although it has been used in the past as a treatment for alcoholism, it is currently being touted as a treatment for heart failure. It is becoming increasingly clear that many of the biological actions of HNO can be attributed to its ability to react with specific thiol- and, possibly, heme-proteins. Herein is discussed the chemistry of HNO with likely biological targets. A particular focus is given to targets associated with the pharmacological utility of HNO as a cardiovascular agent and for the treatment of alcoholism.

Abstract
Here we describe a novel caged form of the highly reactive bioeffector molecule, nitroxyl (HNO). Reacting the labile nitric oxide (NO)- and HNO-generating salt of structure iPrHN-N(O)═NO(-)Na(+) (1, IPA/NO) with BrCH(2)OAc produced a stable derivative of structure iPrHN-N(O)═NO-CH(2)OAc (2, AcOM-IPA/NO), which hydrolyzed an order of magnitude more slowly than 1 at pH 7.4 and 37 °C. Hydrolysis of 2 to generate HNO proceeded by at least two mechanisms. In the presence of esterase, straightforward dissociation to acetate, formaldehyde, and 1 was the dominant path. In the absence of enzyme, free 1 was not observed as an intermediate and the ratio of NO to HNO among the products approached zero. To account for this surprising result, we propose a mechanism in which base-induced removal of the N-H proton of 2 leads to acetyl group migration from oxygen to the neighboring nitrogen, followed by cleavage of the resulting rearrangement product to isopropanediazoate ion and the known HNO precursor, CH(3)-C(O)-NO. The trappable yield of HNO from 2 was significantly enhanced over 1 at physiological pH, in part because the slower rate of hydrolysis for 2 generated a correspondingly lower steady-state concentration of HNO, thus, minimizing self-consumption and enhancing trapping by biological targets such as metmyoglobin and glutathione. Consistent with the chemical trapping efficiency data, micromolar concentrations of prodrug 2 displayed significantly more potent sarcomere shortening effects relative to 1 on ventricular myocytes isolated from wild-type mouse hearts, suggesting that 2 may be a promising lead compound for the development of heart failure therapies.

Abstract
The formation and interconversion of nitrogen oxides has been of interest in numerous contexts for decades. Early studies focused on gas-phase reactions, particularly with regard to industrial and atmospheric environments, and on nitrogen fixation. Additionally, investigation of the coordination chemistry of nitric oxide (NO) with hemoglobin dates back nearly a century. With the discovery in the early 1980s that NO is biosynthesized as a molecular signaling agent, the literature has been focused on the biological effects of nitrogen oxides, but the original concerns remain relevant. For instance, hemoglobin has long been known to react with nitrite, but this reductase activity has recently been considered to be important to produce NO under hypoxic conditions. The association of nitrosyl hydride (HNO; also commonly referred to as nitroxyl) with heme proteins can also produce NO by reductive nitrosylation. Furthermore, HNO is considered to be an intermediate in bacterial denitrification, but conclusive identification has been elusive. The authors of this article have approached the bioinorganic chemistry of HNO from different perspectives, which have converged because heme proteins are important biological targets of HNO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Isopropylamine NONOate (IPA/NO) is a nitroxyl (HNO) donor at physiologic pH. HNO is a positive inotrope and vasodilator, but little is known about its effect on neointimal hyperplasia. The aims of this study are to determine the effect of IPA/NO on endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) in vitro and to determine if IPA/NO inhibits neointimal hyperplasia in vivo. METHODS VSMC were harvested from the abdominal aortas of male Sprague Dawley rats, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells were purchased from ATCC. In vitro, cellular proliferation was assessed by (3)H-thymidine incorporation, cell migration was assessed using the scrape assay, and cell death was assessed using Guava personal cell analysis (PCA). Cell cycle analysis was performed using propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry analysis. Protein expression was assessed using Western blot analysis. Phosphorylated proteins were assessed using immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis. In vivo, the carotid artery injury model was performed on male Sprague Dawley rats treated with (n = 12) or without (n = 6) periadventitial IPA/NO (10 mg). Arteries harvested at 2 weeks were assessed for morphometrics using ImageJ. Inflammation was assessed using immunohistochemistry. Endothelialization was assessed by Evans blue staining of carotid arteries harvested 7 days after balloon injury from rats treated with (n = 6) or without (n = 3) periadventitial IPA/NO (10 mg). RESULTS In vitro, 1000 micromol/L IPA/NO inhibited both VSMC (38.7 +/- 4.5% inhibition vs control, P = .003) and endothelial cell proliferation (54.0 +/- 2.9% inhibition vs control, P < or = 0.001) without inducing cell death or inhibiting migration. In VSMC, this inhibition was associated with an S-phase cell cycle arrest and increased expression of cyclin A, cyclin D1, and the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21. No change was noted in the phosphorylation status of cdk2, cdk4, or cdk6 by IPA/NO. In rodents subjected to the carotid artery balloon injury model, IPA/NO caused significant reductions in neointimal area (298 +/- 20 vs 422 +/- 30, P < or = .001) and medial area (311 +/- 14 vs 449 +/- 16, P < or = .001) compared with injury alone, and reduced macrophage infiltration to 1.7 +/- 0.8 from 16.1 +/- 3.5 cells per high power field (P < or = .001). IPA/NO also prevented re-endothelialization compared with injury alone (55.9 +/- 0.5% nonendothelialized vs 21 +/- 4.4%, respectively, P = .001). Lastly, a 50% mortality rate was observed in the IPA/NO-treated groups. CONCLUSIONS In summary, while IPA/NO modestly inhibited neointimal hyperplasia by inhibiting VSMC proliferation and macrophage infiltration, it also inhibited endothelial cell proliferation and induced significant mortality in our animal model. Since HNO is being investigated as a treatment for congestive heart failure, our results raise some concerns about the use of IPA/NO in the vasculature and suggest that further studies be conducted on the safety of HNO donors in the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Structural and functional details of heme protein complexes with HNO and the isoelectronic RNO (R = alkyl and aryl) molecules (metabolic intermediates) are largely unknown. We report a quantum chemical investigation of three characteristic spectroscopic properties, (1)H and (15)N NMR chemical shifts and NO vibrational frequencies in synthetic HNO and RNO heme complexes, with theory-versus-experiment correlation coefficients R(2) = 0.990-0.998. A new density functional theory (DFT) method was found to yield excellent predictions of experimental structures of HNO, RNO, and NO heme systems. Interestingly, this method also helps the identification of an excellent linear quantitative structure observable relationship between NO vibrational frequencies and bond lengths in all of these NO-containing systems. This suggests that NO vibrations are largely local effects of the NO bonds in these complexes and may help deduce the NO bond lengths from using experimental vibrational data in these systems. The NO vibrational frequencies in HNO, RNO, and NO metalloporphyrins were found to follow a general trend of NO > RNO > HNO complexes, as a result of the electron populations in the antibonding NO orbitals of NO < RNO < HNO complexes. Investigations of the NMR and IR/Raman spectroscopic data in HNO metal complexes show that HNO is a strong pi-acid. In addition, we performed the first quantum chemical investigation of the hydrogen-bond effect on HNO in MbHNO (Mb = myoglobin) models. On the basis of comparisons with experimental (1)H and (15)N NMR results and NO vibrational frequency in MbHNO, a dual hydrogen-bond mode for HNO in MbHNO was proposed. The enhanced stability from this dual hydrogen bonding may provide a basis for the unusual stability of MbHNO observed experimentally. These results should facilitate spectroscopic characterizations and structural investigations of HNO and RNO heme proteins and models.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) has become a nitrogen oxide of significant interest due to its reported biological activity. The actions of HNO in the cardiovascular system appear to make it a good candidate for therapeutic applications for cardiovascular disorders and other potentially important effects have been noted as well. Although the chemistry associated with this activity has not been firmly established, the propensity for HNO to react with thiols and metals are likely mechanisms. Herein, are described the biological activity of HNO and some of the chemistry of HNO that may be responsible for its biological effects.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) donors produce NO-related activity when applied to biological systems. Among its diverse functions, NO has been implicated in vascular smooth muscle relaxation. Despite the great importance of NO in biological systems, its pharmacological and physiological studies have been limited due to its high reactivity and short half-life. In this review we will focus on our recent investigations of nitrosyl ruthenium complexes as NO-delivery agents and their effects on vascular smooth muscle cell relaxation. The high affinity of ruthenium for NO is a marked feature of its chemistry. The main signaling pathway responsible for the vascular relaxation induced by NO involves the activation of soluble guanylyl-cyclase, with subsequent accumulation of cGMP and activation of cGMP-dependent protein kinase. This in turn can activate several proteins such as K+ channels as well as induce vasodilatation by a decrease in cytosolic Ca2+. Oxidative stress and associated oxidative damage are mediators of vascular damage in several cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension. The increased production of the superoxide anion (O2-) by the vascular wall has been observed in different animal models of hypertension. Vascular relaxation to the endogenous NO-related response or to NO released from NO deliverers is impaired in vessels from renal hypertensive (2K-1C) rats. A growing amount of evidence supports the possibility that increased NO inactivation by excess O2- may account for the decreased NO bioavailability and vascular dysfunction in hypertension.

Abstract
It has been previously proposed that nitric oxide (NO) is the only biologically relevant nitrogen oxide capable of activating the enzyme soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC). However, recent reports implicate HNO as another possible activator of sGC. Herein, we examine the affect of HNO donors on the activity of purified bovine lung sGC and find that, indeed, HNO is capable of activating this enzyme. Like NO, HNO activation appears to occur via interaction with the regulatory ferrous heme on sGC. Somewhat unexpectedly, HNO does not activate the ferric form of the enzyme. Finally, HNO-mediated cysteine thiol modification appears to also affect enzyme activity leading to inhibition. Thus, sGC activity can be regulated by HNO via interactions at both the regulatory heme and cysteine thiols.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) exhibits many important pharmacological effects, including inhibition of platelet aggregation, and the HNO donor Angeli's salt has been proposed as a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of many diseases including heart failure and alcoholism. Despite this, little is known about the mechanism of action of HNO, and its effects are rarely linked to specific protein targets of HNO or to the actual chemical changes that proteins undergo when in contact with HNO. Here we study the presumed major molecular target of HNO within the body: protein thiols. Cysteine-containing tryptic peptides were reacted with HNO, generating the sulfinamide modification and, to a lesser extent, disulfide linkages with no other long lived intermediates or side products. The sulfinamide modification was subjected to a comprehensive tandem mass spectrometric analysis including MS/MS by CID and electron capture dissociation as well as an MS(3) analysis. These studies revealed a characteristic neutral loss of HS(O)NH2 (65 Da) that is liberated from the modified cysteine upon CID and can be monitored by mass spectrometry. Upon storage, partial conversion of the sulfinamide to sulfinic acid was observed, leading to coinciding neutral losses of 65 and 66 Da (HS(O)OH). Validation of the method was conducted using a targeted study of nitroxylated glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase extracted from Angeli's salt-treated human platelets. In these ex vivo experiments, the sample preparation process resulted in complete conversion of sulfinamide to sulfinic acid, making this the sole subject of further ex vivo studies. A global proteomics analysis to discover platelet proteins that carry nitroxyl-induced modifications and a mass spectrometric HNO dose-response analysis of the modified proteins were conducted to gain insight into the specificity and selectivity of this modification. These methods identified 10 proteins that are modified dose dependently in response to HNO, whose functions range from metabolism and cytoskeletal rearrangement to signal transduction, providing for the first time a possible mechanistic link between HNO-induced modification and the physiological effects of HNO donors in platelets.

Abstract
The chemical reactivity, toxicology, and pharmacological responses to nitroxyl (HNO) are often distinctly different from those of nitric oxide (NO). The discovery that HNO donors may have pharmacological utility for treatment of cardiovascular disorders such as heart failure and ischemia reperfusion has led to increased speculation of potential endogenous pathways for HNO biosynthesis. Here, the ability of heme proteins to utilize H2O2 to oxidize hydroxylamine (NH2OH) or N-hydroxy-L-arginine (NOHA) to HNO was examined. Formation of HNO was evaluated with a recently developed selective assay in which the reaction products in the presence of reduced glutathione (GSH) were quantified by HPLC. Release of HNO from the heme pocket was indicated by formation of sulfinamide (GS(O)NH2), while the yields of nitrite and nitrate signified the degree of intramolecular recombination of HNO with the heme. Formation of GS(O)NH2 was observed upon oxidation of NH2OH, whereas NOHA, the primary intermediate in oxidation of L-arginine by NO synthase, was apparently resistant to oxidation by the heme proteins utilized. In the presence of NH2OH, the highest yields of GS(O)NH2 were observed with proteins in which the heme was coordinated to a histidine (horseradish peroxidase, lactoperoxidase, myeloperoxidase, myoglobin, and hemoglobin) in contrast to a tyrosine (catalase) or cysteine (cytochrome P450). That peroxidation of NH2OH by horseradish peroxidase produced free HNO, which was able to affect intracellular targets, was verified by conversion of 4,5-diaminofluorescein to the corresponding fluorophore within intact cells.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) has essential roles in a remarkable number of diverse biological processes. The reactivity of NO depends upon its physical properties, such as its small size, high diffusion rate, and lipophilicity (resulting in its accumulation in hydrophobic regions), and also on its facile but selective chemical reactivity toward a variety of cellular targets. NO also undergoes reactions with oxygen, superoxide ions, and reducing agents to give products that themselves show distinctive reactivity toward particular targets, sometimes with the manifestation of toxic effects, such as nitrosative stress. These include nitroxyl (HNO), the oxides NO2/N2O4, and N2O3, peroxynitrite, and S-nitrosothiols (RSNO). HNO is attracting considerable attention due to its pharmacological properties, which appear to be distinct from those of NO, and that may be significant in the treatment of heart failure.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO/NO(-)), the reduced form of nitric oxide, has gained attention based on its separate chemistry and biology from nitric oxide. The inherent reactivity of HNO requires new and mechanistically unique donors for the detailed study of HNO chemistry and biology. Oxidation of cyclohexanone oxime with lead tetraacetate yields 1-nitrosocyclohexyl acetate, whereas oxidation of oximes in the presence of excess carboxylic acid gives various acyloxy nitroso compounds. These bright blue compounds exist as monomers as indicated by their infrared, proton, and carbon NMR spectra, and X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals the nitroso groups possess a "nitroxyl-like" bent configuration. Hydrolysis of these compounds produces nitrous oxide, the dimerization and dehydration product of HNO, and provides evidence for the intermediacy of HNO. Both thiols and oxidative metal complexes inhibit nitrous oxide formation. Hydrolysis of these compounds in the presence of ferric heme complexes forms ferrous nitrosyl complexes providing further evidence for the intermediacy of HNO. Kinetic analysis shows that the rate of hydrolysis depends on pH and the structure of the acyl group of the acyloxy nitroso compound. These compounds relax pre-constricted rat aortic rings similar to known HNO donors. Together, these results identify acyloxy nitroso compounds as a new class of HNO donors.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) has received recent and significant interest due to its novel and potentially important pharmacology. However, the chemical/biochemical mechanism(s) responsible for its biological activity remain to be established. Some of the most important biological targets for HNO are thiols and thiol proteins. Consistent with this, it was recently reported that HNO inhibits the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), a protein with a catalytically important cysteine thiol at its active site. Interestingly, it was reported that intracellular GAPDH inhibition occurred without significantly altering the cellular thiol redox status of glutathione. Herein, the nature of this reaction specificity was examined. HNO is found to irreversibly inhibit GAPDH in a manner that can be protected against by one of its substrates, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G-3-P). These results are consistent with the idea that HNO has the ability to react with and oxidize a variety of intracellular thiols and the ease or facility of cellular re-reduction of the thiol targets can determine the target specificity.

Abstract
There is a growing body of evidence on the role of nitric oxide (NO) in retinal physiology. Recently, interest has developed in the functional role of an alternative redox form of NO, namely nitroxyl (HNO/NO(-)), because it is formed by a number of diverse biochemical reactions. The aim of the present report was to comparatively analyze the effect of HNO and NO on the retinal nitridergic pathway in the golden hamster. For this purpose, sodium trioxodinitrate (Angeli's salt) and diethylammonium (Z)-1-(N,N-diethylamino)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (DEA/NO) were used as HNO and NO releasers, respectively. Angeli's salt and DEA/NO significantly decreased nitric oxide synthase activity. In addition, Angeli's salt (but not DEA/NO) significantly decreased l-arginine uptake. DEA/NO significantly increased cGMP accumulation at low micromolar concentrations, while Angeli's salt affected this parameter with a threshold concentration of 200muM. Although Angeli's salt and DEA/NO significantly diminished reduced glutathione and protein thiol levels in a similar way, DEA/NO was significantly more effective than AS in increasing S-nitrosothiol levels. None of these compounds increased retinal lipid peroxidation. These results suggest that HNO could regulate the hamster retinal nitridergic pathway by acting through a mechanism that only partly overlaps with that involved in NO response.

Abstract
The nitroxyl anion (HNO) is emerging as a novel regulator of cardiovascular function with therapeutic potential in the treatment of diseases such as heart failure. It remains unknown whether tolerance develops to HNO donors, a limitation of currently used nitrovasodilators. The susceptibility of the HNO donor, Angeli's salt (AS), to the development of vascular tolerance was compared with the NO donors, glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) and diethylamine/NONOate (DEA/NO) in rat isolated aortae. Vasorelaxation to AS was attenuated (P<0.01) by the HNO scavenger l-cysteine, whereas the sensitivity to GTN and DEA/NO was decreased (P<0.01) by the NO. scavenger carboxy-[2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-imidozoline-1-oxy-3-oxide]. The soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline-1-one impaired responses to GTN>or=AS>>DEA/NO. Pretreatment with 10, 30, and 100 micromol/L of GTN for 60 minutes induced a 4- (P<0.05), 13- (P<0.01), and 48-fold (P<0.01) decrease in sensitivity to GTN, demonstrating tolerance development. In contrast, pretreatment with AS or DEA/NO (10, 30, and 100 micromol/L) did not alter their subsequent vasorelaxation. All of the nitrovasodilators (30 micromol/L) displayed a similar time course of vasorelaxation and cGMP accumulation over a 60-minute period. Unlike vasorelaxation, the magnitude of peak cGMP accumulation differed substantially: DEA/NO>>AS>GTN. GTN did not induce cross-tolerance to either AS or DEA/NO. In contrast, pre-exposure to DEA/NO, but not AS, caused a concentration-dependent attenuation (P<0.01) of GTN-mediated relaxation, which was negated by the protein kinase G inhibitor guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate, 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-,Rp-isomer, triethylammonium salt. In conclusion, vascular tolerance does not develop to HNO, nor does cross-tolerance between HNO and GTN occur. Thus, HNO donors may have therapeutic advantages over traditional nitrovasodilators.
