Abstract
A novel class of timolol derivatives with nitric oxide (NO)-donating moieties achieved chemical stability yet under physiologically relevant conditions released timolol and NO. Hindered esters A were designed and synthesized, whose ‘triggered’ release relied on enzymatic hydrolysis of the nitrate ester in A to B, that in turn cyclized to liberate timolol.

b Enzymatic liability was determined in presence of rabbit corneal homogenate (protein concentration was adjusted to 1 mg/mL with MCBD 153 medium obtained from Sigma–Aldrich) through the determination of timolol released into the incubating buffer at 37 °C over time. Specifically, timolol content was determined assessing the displacing activity on recombinant human β-receptors labelled with l-[4,6-propyl-3H]dihydro alprenolol16 of corneal extracts previously exposed to vehicle of test compounds.

Vasodilating potency of timolol, ISMN,24 trigger compounds 11 and 12 in presence and absence of the guanylate cyclase inhibitor ODQ (10 μM)
Vasorelaxant potency was determined in rabbit aortic rings precontracted with 3 μM methoxamine. EC50 (effective concentration giving 50% of response) were estimated for each test compound from the logic curve obtained by plotting the percentage of vasorelaxant effects as a function of concentration. The EC50 could not be calculated for compounds with efficacy below 50% at the highest testable concentration of 100 μM (NC). Results are expressed as mean ± SEM of four independent experiments.
p < 0.05 versus condition in absence of ODQ.

Note to users: The section "Articles in Press" contains peer reviewed accepted articles to be published in this journal. When the final article is assigned to an issue of the journal, the "Article in Press" version will be removed from this section and will appear in the associated published journal issue. The date it was first made available online will be carried over. Please be aware that although "Articles in Press" do not have all bibliographic details available yet, they can already be cited using the year of online publication and the DOI as follows: Author(s), Article Title, Journal (Year), DOI. Please consult the journal's reference style for the exact appearance of these elements, abbreviation of journal names and the use of punctuation.
There are three types of "Articles in Press":
Accepted manuscripts: these are articles that have been peer reviewed and accepted for publication by the Editorial Board. The articles have not yet been copy edited and/or formatted in the journal house style.
Uncorrected proofs: these are copy edited and formatted articles that are not yet finalized and that will be corrected by the authors. Therefore the text could change before final publication.
Corrected proofs: these are articles containing the authors' corrections and may, or may not yet have specific issue and page numbers assigned.
