Nitroglycerin can be administered sublingually (under the tongue), orally (tablet or capsule), topically (cream or ointment), or via intravenous infusion. Each route has different rates of absorption and onset of action.
Nitroglycerin is a colorless to pale yellow liquid.
The estimated adult oral lethal dose of nitroglycerin is 200 mg to 1,200 mg. That is quite a lot as the normal dose per use is not more than 0.8 mg.
The chemical formula for nitroglycerin is C3H5N3O9. To calculate the number of moles of nitroglycerin, divide the given mass of nitroglycerin by its molar mass (227.09 g/mol). To find the number of molecules of nitroglycerin, multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol).
Nitroglycerin was invented by Italian chemist Ascanio Sobrero in 1847.
