Pronunciation: [ɔːɡˈanɪk nˈa͡ɪtɹe͡ɪt] (IPA) 
Organic nitrate is a term used to describe a group of chemicals that are commonly used as medicines to treat angina and heart diseases. However, due to their wide range of applications, there are several other terms used to describe these compounds. These synonyms include nitroglycerine, isosorbide dinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate, and amyl nitrate. Nitroglycerine is the most commonly used organic nitrate and is particularly useful for fast relief of angina symptoms. Isosorbide dinitrate and isosorbide mononitrate are organically synthesized nitrates that are metabolized to release nitric oxide, which acts as a vasodilator. Amyl nitrate is a volatile alkyl nitrite compound used primarily as a recreational drug and an aroma in perfumes.
