Photodelivery of Nitric Oxide from Water-Soluble Platinum Nanoparticles

摘要

Research on compounds able to deliver nitric oxide (NO) has undergone a tremendous growth in recent years,owing to the exciting discoveries related to the multiple roles NO plays in a broad array of physiological processes such as neurotransmission,hormone secretion,and vasodilatation.Furthermore,NO has also recently proven to be an effective anticancer agent as well as a chain breaking antioxidant in free radical-induced lipid oxidation.
