Metabolite Identification
Common NameNitrous oxide
DescriptionNitrous oxide, also known as N2O or diazyne 1-oxide, belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as other non-metal nitrides. These are inorganic compounds of nitrogen where nitrogen has a formal oxidation state of -3, and the heaviest atom bonded to it belongs to the class of 'other non-metals'. Nitrous oxide exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Nitrous oxide is an odorless tasting compound. Nitrous oxide is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Nitrous oxide.
