Abstract

The [M(CN)xNOy]n- complexes (where M = Cr(I), Mn(I), Mn(II), Fe(I), Fe(II), Fe(III)) were studied as potential NO-donors using both pharmacological and theoretical semi-empirical methods. Only iron complexes appeared to be pharmacologically active. The quantum chemical calculations indicated that these complexes have the highest predisposition to undergo a nucleophilic attack followed by the NO+ release. The results allowed us to interpret the metabolism of the [M(CN)xNOy]n- complexes in terms of the NO(+)-donation.
