Nitroglycerin(CAT: M009346) is an organic nitrate compound best known for its dual role as a powerful explosive and a life-saving medication. Chemically classified as glyceryl trinitrate (C₃H₅N₃O₉), it is a dense, oily liquid highly sensitive to shock, heat, and friction in pure form. In medicine, diluted nitroglycerin is used as a vasodilator to treat angina pectoris, heart failure, and certain cases of high blood pressure by relaxing smooth muscle and improving blood flow. Industrially, it serves as a key ingredient in dynamite and propellants. Due to its potency, nitroglycerin must be handled with strict safety measures in both medical and manufacturing settings.
