(+-)-(E)-Ethyl-2-[(E)-hydroxyimino]-5-nitro-3-hexeneamide (FK409), which was isolated from microbial products, has been reported to show a vasorelaxant effect through a mechanism similar to that of the organic nitrates such as isosorbide dinitrate. In solution at pH 7.4, FK409 decomposed and released nitric
