First introduced by Ascanio Sobrero, an Italian chemist, in 1847, nitroglycerin initially attracted scientific interest for its explosive properties. * Now famous for the prize that bears his name, Alfred Nobel extended Sobrero’s work, utilizing nitroglycerin in the development of the powerful explosive dynamite. Coincidentally, Nobel, who suffered from angina pectoris (AP) later in his life, was prescribed nitroglycerin to alleviate his symptoms: “…isn’t it the irony of fate that I have been prescribed NG1 [nitroglycerin] to be taken internally!
