A Diagram, which Depicts Four Methods of NO Release, Leading to Increased Blood Flow: (a) nitric oxide is postulated to be released from RRx‐001 (formula shown below) directly via a Nef‐like reaction; (b) RRx‐001 binds to the betaCys93 residue on haemoglobin, which accelerates the formation of nitric oxide from deoxyhemoglobin in RBCs; (c) spontaneous release of nitric oxide from a NONOate in aqueous media; (d) production of NO via eNOS in the endothelium
