  <class>SmallMolecule</class>
  <description>Isosorbide dinitrate (C6H8N2O8) is an organic compound with an average molecular weight of 236.14 g/mol. Isosorbide dinitrate belongs to the isosorbides, a subclass of furofurans within the organic compounds. It is classified as an organoheterocyclic compound.

The substance is found in or released from 31 recorded sources. These include household cleaning and consumer products such as bleaching agents, perfumes within detergents and soaps, cigar cigarettes, other smoking requisites, and non electric simulated smoking devices. In the category of food, food processing and cookware, it is associated with food preservation, processing meats, and fermentation processes for beer. It is also found in building and construction materials, specifically ladders, as well as electrical and electronic equipment including antennas, amplifiers, discharge lamps, auxiliary devices, and conductors or conductive bodies characterised by the conductive materials. Within healthcare, pharmaceuticals and veterinary products, the compound is used as vasoprotectives and as vasodilators used in cardiac diseases.

Recorded exposure routes for isosorbide dinitrate include sublingual, oral, and intramuscular administration. Regarding its biological activity, one protein target has been recorded: it acts as an agonist of Atrial natriuretic peptide receptor 1 (NPR1).</description>
