Biological aspects of reactive nitrogen species
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 1999 Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role as a cell-signalling molecule, anti-infective agent and, as most recently recognised, an antioxidant. The metabolic fate of NO gives rise to a further series of compounds, collectively known as the reactive nitrogen species (RNS), which possess their own unique characteristics.

Carbon nanotubes induce inflammation but decrease the production of reactive oxygen species in lung [PDF]
, 2010 With the rapid spread of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) applications, the respiratory toxicity of these compounds has attracted the attention of many scientists. Several studies have reported that after lung administration, CNTs could induce granuloma, fibrosis,

Reactive Nitrogen Species Reactivities with Nitrones: Theoretical and Experimental Studies [PDF]
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2012 Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) such as nitrogen dioxide ((•)NO(2)), peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)), and nitrosoperoxycarbonate (ONOOCO(2)(-)) are among the most damaging species present in biological systems due to their ability to cause modification of key biomolecular systems through oxidation, nitrosylation, and nitration.

N-Nitroso products from the reaction of indoles with Angeli's salt [PDF]
, 2006 While nitroxyl (HNO) has been shown to engage in oxidation and hydroxylation reactions, little is known about its nitrosating potential. We therefore sought to investigate the kinetics of formation and identity of the reaction products of the classical ...

Oxidative DNA Damage and Repair: Mechanisms, Mutations, and Relation to Diseases
Antioxidants, 2023 Oxidative DNA damage (ODD) by reactive oxygen species (ROS) or reactive nitrogen species (RNS) is an inevitable tradeoff for using oxidation processes by living cells as a source of energy [...]
