Inhalant nitrites are drugs of abuse that have been shown to enhance tumor growth rate in mice and are epidemiologically linked to an increased risk of Kaposi's sarcoma. Because nitrites produce nitric oxide, we hypothesized that their toxicological effects might

Methemoglobinemia usually results from exposure to oxidizing substances such as nitrates or nitrites. Iron within hemoglobin is oxidized from the ferrous (Fe2+) state to the ferric (Fe3+) state, resulting in the inability to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide. Clinically, this
Isobutyl nitrite liberates nitric oxide which is not responsible for the immunotoxicity of the inhalant.

Nitrite inhalant abuse has been correlated epidemiologically with HIV seropositivity and with Kaposi's sarcoma. Using a mouse model, we have shown that inhaled isobutyl nitrite caused anemia and severely depressed immunity. In the present study, we showed that both isobutyl
