Peroxynitrite (ONOO^−) is a reactive nitrogen species formed by the reaction of nitric oxide (NO) with superoxide (O2•−), which is a reactive oxygen species. It is a powerful oxidizing agent and is known to participate in various biochemical processes in the body. Peroxynitrite can modify proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, leading to oxidative stress and potential cellular damage.
