DETA NONOate(CAS: 146724-94-9)

DETA NONOate, also known as 2,2'-(1,2-ethanediyl)bis(nitrosooctane), is a chemical compound with CAS number 146724-94-9. It is a colorless or pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The molecular formula is C16H28N4O4. It is highly soluble in water and ethanol, and it is slightly soluble in acetone and ether.

DETA NONOate is primarily used as a research tool and in pharmaceutical applications. It is extensively utilized in biomedical research for its ability to act as a nitric oxide donor. It is also used in the development of new drugs and therapies, particularly those targeting cardiovascular diseases and other nitric oxide-related conditions.

DETA NONOate is generally considered safe for laboratory use under appropriate conditions. However, it should be handled with caution due to its irritant properties. Proper personal protective equipment, including gloves and goggles, is recommended. It is non-flammable but may decompose upon heating, releasing toxic gases. Adequate ventilation is essential to avoid inhalation risks.

DETA NONOate should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. The temperature should be kept below 25°C to prevent decomposition. It should be stored in a tightly sealed container to protect it from air and light. Humidity should be controlled to avoid moisture absorption, which could affect its stability and reactivity.
