Human oxyhemoglobin exhibits high resistance to nitroglycerin during incubation of the protein with this compound for 0.3-3 h. Prolonged exposure (24 h) leads to activation of methemoglobin production. In the presence of nitroglycerin hemoglobin molecules undergo rapid oxidation during deoxygenation with formation of methemoglobin as the terminal product of human oxyhemoglobin interaction with nitroglycerin. The scheme of interaction processes of oxyhemoglobin with nitroglycerin in different conditions of oxygen regime is proposed. Partially deliganded hemoglobin plays the leading role in the initiation of hemoglobin oxidation processes.
