AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A metal-nitrosyl complex, Roussin's black salt (RBS), releases nitric oxide after illumination. Approximately 3.7 NO molecules were released from one RBS molecule. Both short- and long-term effects of photogenerated NO on the two neoplastic cell lines: human (SK-MEL188) and mouse (S91) have been investigated. Exogenous NO from RBS was toxic to cells in a dose-dependent manner. Apoptotic damage predominates in the response to the injury, as shown by TUNEL assay. NO and its short-lived metabolites, but not other RBS photoproducts, are responsible for cellular death. RBS in dark was toxic to cells at concentrations above 1 microM. This relatively high cytotoxicity of RBS in the dark prevents its application as a systemic anticancer agent in vivo, unless it is applied locally.

Tumor microenvironment, characterized by dense extracellular matrix and severe hypoxia, has caused pronounced resistance to photodynamic therapy (PDT). Herein, it has designed an artificial nitric oxide (NO) nanotractor with a unique "motor-cargo" structure, where a photoswitching upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) core serves as the optical engine to harvest NIR light and asymmetrically coated mesoporous silica (SiO) shell acts as a cargo unit to load nitric oxide (NO) fuel molecule (RBS, Roussin's black salt) and PDT photosensitizer (ZnPc, zinc phthalocyanine). Upon illumination by 980 nm light, the UCNP emits blue light to excite RBS salt and release NO gas.

Stem cell therapy is an attractive approach to bone tissue regeneration in osteoporosis (OP); however, poor cell engraftment and survival within injured tissues limits its success in clinical settings. Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule involved in various physiological processes, with emerging evidence supporting its diverse roles in modulating stem cell behavior, including survival, migration, and osteogenic differentiation. To control and enhance osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for OP therapy, we designed a near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered NO-releasing nanoplatform based on upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) that converts 808-nm NIR light into visible light, stimulating NO release by light control.

Upconverted UCNPs@mSiO-NH nanoparticles were synthesized via thermal decomposition while employing the energy resonance transfer principle and the excellent near-infrared (NIR) light conversion property of up-conversion. The 808 nm NIR-excited photocontrolled nitric oxide (NO) release platform was successfully developed by electrostatically loading photosensitive NO donor Roussin's black salt (RBS) onto UCNPs@mSiO-NH, enabling the temporal, spatial, and dosimetric regulation of NO release for biological applications of NO. The release of NO ranged from 0.

The cytotoxic activity of a series of dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) with thioureas against cells of different origin has been studied in this work. The cytotoxicity of the studied DNICs proved to be substantially different depending on the structure of the complexes and cell line. Complexes with thiourea and 1,3-dimethylthiourea were found to induce notable cell death in different cell lines of both cancerous and non-cancerous origin, while the -ethylthiourea-bearing complex induced cell death in cells derived from brain tumors.

Atom-efficient syntheses of the tetraethylammonium Roussin black sulfur and selenium salts ((EtN)[FeE(NO)], E = S, Se) as well as their N-labeled counterparts are described herein. Broken-symmetry DFT calculations were conducted on both complexes to model an antiferromagnetic interaction between the apical {FeNO} unit, = 3/2, and the three basal {Fe(NO)} units, = 1/2. The calculated values are -1813 and -1467 cm for the sulfur and selenium compounds, respectively.
