These findings may indicate that cyanide inhibits soluble guanylate cyclase activated by nitroprusside, sodium nitrite or nitric oxide through interaction with nitric oxide and heme binding site of the enzyme.
Effect of sodium cyanide on the relaxing response (decrease of intraluminal pressure) to sodium nitroprusside, sodium nitrite, nitric oxide and human atrial natriuretic peptide (HANP) was investigated in isolated rabbit aortic preparations in vitro.
