Formic acid ammonium
NO/cGMP Activator
Formic acid ammonium serves as an ammonium salt derivative of formic acid, functioning as a nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO/cGMP) activator. This compound activates NO/cGMP signaling in endothelial cells and inhibits calcium ion influx in vascular smooth muscle cells, promoting vasomotor relaxation. Additionally, formic acid ammonium inhibits cytochrome C oxidase, disrupting the electron transport chain and resulting in ATP depletion. This reagent also finds utility as a feed additive, where it can lower the feed pH, inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella, thereby enhancing the shelf life of the feed.
