Abstract

Abstract Peroxynitrite reacts with thiols 1 at acidic pH to give the corresponding S- nitrosothiols 2 and disulfides 3. The formation of nitrosothiols 2, the yield of which is strongly pH-dependent, can be rationalized in terms of acid-catalyzed decomposition of the undissociated HPN, probably through the intermediacy of the protonated form H 2 PN+, leading to a species, X− NO, capable of nitrosating the thiol function. In contrast, the ...
