Nitric oxide (NO)-releasing xerogel membranes were prepared as coatings for an electrochemical glucose biosensor to allow for enhanced biocompatibility while maintaining adequate response times and sensitivity. Formation of the NO-donor species was found to drastically decrease the permeability of the aminosilane-based xerogels to both hydrogen peroxide and glucose. The addition of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) polymer enhanced the membrane permeability even after exposure to high pressures of NO (necessary for NO-donor synthesis). The analytical response and NO release of PVP-doped NO-releasing xerogels as glucose sensor membranes were further investigated and found to be enhanced via polymer doping. Doping of the polymer into the xerogel did not compromise the stability of the xerogel as evaluated by silicon leaching studies. Despite the addition of PVP, the NO-releasing xerogels maintained reduced bacterial adhesion characteristics analogous to previous reports for NO-releasing xerogels.

Superhydrophobic nitric oxide (NO)-releasing xerogels were prepared by spray-coating a fluorinated silane/silica composite onto N-diazeniumdiolate NO donor-modified xerogels. The thickness of the superhydrophobic layer was used to extend NO release durations from 59 to 105h. The resulting xerogels were stable, maintaining superhydrophobicity for up to 1month (the longest duration tested) when immersed in solution, with no leaching of silica or undesirable fragmentation detected.

Nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenous antibacterial agent produced by immune cells in response to pathogens. Herein, the NO fluxes necessary to reduce bacterial adhesion of different bacteria (, methicillin-resistant , , , , and ) were investigated to ascertain the sensitivity of these bacteria to NO. -nitrosothiol NO donor-modified xerogels were selected as a model NO-release surface due to their extended NO-release kinetics relative to other NO donor systems.

Nitric oxide (NO)-releasing xerogel materials were synthesized using N-diazeniumdiolate-modified silane monomers that were subsequently co-condensed with an alkoxysilane. The NO-release characteristics were tuned by varying the aminosilane structure and concentration. The resulting materials exhibited maximum NO release totals and durations ranging from 0.

Despite growing reports on the biological action of nitric oxide (NO) as a function of NO payload, the validity of such work is often questionable due to the manner in which NO is measured and/or the solution composition in which NO is quantified. To highlight the importance of measurement technique for a given sample type, NO produced from a small-molecule NO donor (N-diazeniumdiolated l-proline, PROLI/NO) and a NO-releasing xerogel film were quantified in a number of physiological buffers and fluids, cell culture media, and bacterial broth by the Griess assay, a chemiluminescence analyzer, and an amperometric NO sensor. Despite widespread use, the Griess assay proved to be inaccurate for measuring NO in many of the media tested.
