Isobutyl nitrite

Description:

Isobutyl nitrite is an organic compound with the molecular formula C4H9NO2 and is classified as an alkyl nitrite. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fruity odor. Isobutyl nitrite is known for its use as a vasodilator and is often employed in the medical field for the treatment of angina pectoris. Additionally, it has gained notoriety as a recreational drug, commonly referred to as "poppers," due to its psychoactive effects, which include a brief sensation of euphoria and relaxation. The compound is highly volatile and flammable, necessitating careful handling and storage away from heat sources and open flames. Isobutyl nitrite is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its chemical properties include the ability to release nitric oxide, which contributes to its physiological effects. Due to its potential health risks, including respiratory irritation and cardiovascular effects, its use is regulated in many countries. Overall, isobutyl nitrite is a compound with both therapeutic applications and recreational use, accompanied by safety considerations.

Isobutylnitrite is a nitric oxide donor that is used in clinical pathology and analytical chemistry as a marker for the presence of nitrite ion. Isobutylnitrite has been shown to induce angiogenesis and stimulate the production of various pro-angiogenic factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). It also activates signal pathways in cells that are important for tissue development and body formation. This chemical has been found to be toxic to animal cells at high concentrations, but not at low concentrations. It can also cause autoimmune diseases, HIV infection, and cancer. Isobutylnitrite is an alkyl nitrite with the chemical formula C4H9NO2. It is highly reactive and decomposes easily into products such as carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitric oxide (NO), ozone (O3) or nitrous oxide (N2O).
