The review states that much cytotoxicity previously attributed to nitric oxide is instead due to peroxynitrite formed by reaction of nitric oxide with superoxide.
Quoted textsource-backed
Recent evidence indicates that most of the cytotoxicity attributed to NO is rather due to peroxynitrite, produced from the diffusion-controlled reaction between NO and another free radical, the superoxide anion.
