CHEBI:60072 - erythrityl tetranitrate

ChEBI IDCHEBI:60072
ChEBI Nameerythrityl tetranitrate
Stars
DefinitionErythritol in which each of the hydroxy groups has been converted to the corresponding nitrate ester. It is a vasodilator with properties similar to nitroglycerin. It is usually used diluted with lactose or other suitable inert excipients, in order to minimise the risk of explosion; undiluted erythrityl tetranitrate can be exploded by percussion or excessive heat.
