Isosorbide mononitrate is an organic nitrate with vasodilating properties. It is an anti-anginal agent that works by relaxing the smooth muscles of both arteries and veins, but but predominantly veins to reduce cardiac preload. Isosorbide-5-mononitrate is a crystalline solid. It is very flammable and may be toxic by ingestion. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Antianginals, Nitrates and Vasodilating agents. Its therapeutic use is listed as angina and cardiovascular. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a semi-synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Monoket, Imdur, Monosorbitrate, Corangin and Isosorbide 5-mononitrate. Its PubChem CID is 27661.
