CAS 7297-25-8 is the registry number for Erythrityl tetranitrate. Offered by: MedChemExpress. Available pack sizes: Get quote.
Erythrityl tetranitrate is erythritol 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. It has a role as a vasodilator agent and an explosive. It is functionally related to an erythritol.
