Abstract
Nitric Oxide (NO) photocleavable donors are useful tools for interrogating nitric oxide signalling and have potential use in photopharmacological applications. There is currently intensive research into newer methods to improve NO release and kinetic profiles. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a solid-supported photocleavable NO donor synthesized by ligating an N-nitroso photocleavable nitric oxide derivative to a TentaGel® polymer resin bead. Illumination with 365 nm light released nitric oxide that could be tracked via a turn-on fluorescence response (λex = 450 nm, λem = 545 nm) and measured using the Griess assay and diaminorhodamine derivatives. These beads were further shown to be compatible with living A549 cells and had the ability to deliver greater concentrations of nitric oxide to cells proximal to a bead versus cells at more distal locations within the same well.
