Nitroxyl (HNO): chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology.

abstract：:Selective, nonpeptide antagonists for tachykinin receptors first became available ten years ago. Of the three known tachykinin receptors, drug development has focused most intensively on the substance P-preferring receptor, neurokinin(1) (NK(1)). Although originally studied as potential analgesic compounds, recent evi...
