Nitric Oxide Donors Market: Competitive Landscape, Pipeline, and Market Analysis 2023
Nitrous oxide (NO) is a ubiquitous signaling molecule and is present virtually in all tissues in the human body and plays a vital role in many physiological processes like regulating vessel homeostasis, prevention of thrombosis, role in platelet activation, inflammatory processes, and wound healing processes. NO released by the body is responsible for making the penis erect during sexual intercourse. Also, before childbirth, NO released by the infant’s vessels is responsible for preventing the closure of the ductus arteriosus. NO is produced endogenously using L-arginine in the wall of the blood vessels as a substrate of low concentration by the enzyme NO synthases. Dysfunctions in NO production and regulation have also been associated with chronic lung infections, especially in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, wound infections, vascular diseases like ischaemic heart diseases, angina pectoris, hypertension, etc. Moreover, NO released in the eyes has a role to play in draining out the aqueous humor facilitated by PGF2α plays a significant role in the pathophysiology of Glaucoma. Companies are trying to find new and novel molecules to prevent and cure these diseases. The development and launch of newer products by the market players will significantly enhance the revenue of the Nitric Oxide Donors market over the forecast years. For instance, according to a research article, angina is the most common symptom of ischaemic heart disease, and approximately 9 million in 2022 in the USA have symptoms of angina.
A number of these inhibitors are in the market while many are in ongoing clinical trials. 22 companies have various products in their pipelines with 21 products in various stages of clinical trials. 2 products are in Phase 4, 4 products are in Phase 3, 13 products are in Phase 2 and 1 product is in Phase 1 of the clinical trials.

Drugs like Rectiv (nitroglycerin) and BiDil (hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate) are commercially available NO donors are used in the treatment of various indications like Angina Pectoris and Ischaemic Heart Diseases. NO donors are used in many other indications like treating Erectile Dysfunction (ED), Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), Pulmonary Hypertension in newborns, and others. However, the most use of NO donors is for the treatment of angina pectoris as a vasodilator. According to the Department of Health, every year, about 697,000 people die because of heart disease in the USA, wherein 382,820 deaths are due to coronary heart disease (CAD).
