Mechanism of Action

i. Isosorbide dinitrate gets convert into Nitric oxide.

ii. Activation of enzyme gunanylate cyclase

iii. Increase in concentration of cGMP within vascular smooth muscles

iv. Vasodilation occurs due to cGMP-dependent protein kinase.

 

Structure Activity Relationship

General structure activity of organic nitrate antianginal drugs can be summarized as:

  • The number of nitrate groups determines the potency of organic nitrate for guanylate cyclase activation.
  • Increase in nitric group increases the potency.
  • Increase in lipophillicity doesn’t have major effect over activation of drug.

 

Method of synthesis

i. Intermolecular dehydration of D-sorbite to give isosorbide using paratoluenesulfonic acid.

ii. Nitration of isosorbide by nitric acid to give isosorbide dinitrate. [1]
