Nitroglycerins
Nitroglycerin, also known as glyceryl trinitrate, is a type of organic nitrate compound. Its chemical formula is C3H5N3O9. It is a colorless or pale yellow oily liquid that is highly explosive and sensitive to shock, heat, and friction. Nitroglycerin is used medically to treat conditions such as angina (chest pain) and heart failure, and is also used to make explosives. It works by relaxing blood vessels, which increases blood flow and reduces the workload on the heart. Nitroglycerin can be administered orally, sublingually (under the tongue), topically, or intravenously.
