In this study, thirty-one aliphatic nitrates were investigated using the density functional theory method (B3LYP) in combination with six basis sets (3-21G, 6-31G, 6-31G*, 6-31G**, 6-311G* and 6-31+G**) and the semiempirical molecular orbital method (PM3). Based on the geometric optimizations at various theoretical levels, the molecular volumes and densities were calculated. Compared with the available experimental data, the densities calculated by various methods are all overestimated, and the errors of the PM3 and B3LYP/3-21G methods are larger than those of other methods. Considering the results and the computer resources required by the calculations, the B3LYP/6-31G* method is recommended for predicting the crystalline densities of organic nitrates using a fitting equation.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. Project Overview This project sought to determine the physical properties, synthesis, and destruction mechanisms of improvised explosives, often called homemade explosives (HMEs). In Year 7, we performed further characterization on erythritol tetranitrate (ETN) and on the nitro-sugars mannitol and sorbitol hexanitrate and HMTD. For ETN, we examined its synthesis and sought stable isotope signatures that might allow attribution to particular groups. For the sugars we are attempting to establish basic properties and observing different polymorphs. The existence of polymorphs was also found with HMTD. B. State of the Art and Technical Approach Stable isotope analysis is a technique capable of determining the subtle differences between the stable isotope ratios of hydrogen (2H/1H), carbon (13C/12C), nitrogen (15N/14N), oxygen (18O/16O), and, with special modifications, sulfur (34S/32S). Stable isotope analyses are important for provenance studies, where minute differences in isotope ratios can determine production location. Stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) has been considered as a forensic science technique for attribution that has been applied to illicit drugs, chemical weapon agents, and recently to explosives.

  • Endothelial Dysfunction in Heart Failure and Ischemic Heart Disease: Rationale for the Clinical Use of Mononitrates
    Heart International / Vol. 3 no. 3-4, 2007 / pp. 86-97 © Wichtig Editore, 2007 Endothelial dysfunction in heart failure and ischemic heart disease: rationale for the clinical use of mononitrates OBERDAN PARODI, RENATA DE MARIA, ELÈNA ROUBINA CNR Clinical Physiology Institute of Milan, Cardiology Department, Niguarda Cà Granda Hospital, Milan - Italy ABSTRACT: The clinical observation that heart failure can progress independently of the pa- tient’s hemodynamic status has focused interest on new, potential mechanisms underlying the progression of cardiac insufficiency. It has been shown that in both ischemic and non-ischemic heart failure, endothelial dysfunction and reduced bioavailability of NO can contribute to the process of left ventricular remodelling. The endothelial dysfunction contributes to increasing pe- ripheral vascular resistance, limiting blood flow to skeletal muscles, particularly during exercise, and compromising the regulation of pulmonary blood flow, leading to a flow-perfusion mis- match. The nitroderivates are a heterogeneous class of compounds that have in common their pharmacodynamic action, which is mediated through the production of NO. Isosorbide-2-mononitrate (IS-2-MN) and isosorbide-5-mononitrate (IS-5-MN) are the two main metabolites of isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) and both act on the smooth muscle cells of vessel walls, causing generalized peripheral vasodilation, which is more marked in the venous system, reduced venous return to the heart and a reduction in peripheral resistance. The shorter half-life of IS-2-MN compared to that of IS-5-MN allows greater fluctuation of the blood levels of the drug; it can, therefore, be hypothesized that tolerance would develop more slowly.
