4-Octyl itaconate-Bn-S-NH2

4-Octyl itaconate-Bn-S-NH2 (Compound 8b) functions as a vasorelaxant. It releases H2S slowly and steadily, helping to reduce oxidative stress through antioxidant reactions that depend on Nrf2 activation. It also inhibits the generation of intracellular ROS and cytotoxicity caused by H2O2 damage and activates the potassium channel. This compound is applicable in hypertension research.
