Under continuous photolysis at 675 nm, liposomal zinc phthalocyanine associated with nitrosyl ruthenium complex [Ru(NH.NHq)(tpy)NO](3+) showed the detection and quantification of nitric oxide (NO) and singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) release. Photophysical and photochemical results demonstrated that the interaction between the nitrosyl ruthenium complex and the photosensitizer can enable an electron transfer process from the photosensitizer to the nitrosyl ruthenium complex which leads to NO release. Synergistic action of both photosensitizers and the nitrosyl ruthenium complex results in the production of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species, which is a potent oxidizing agent to many biological tissues, in particular neoplastic cells.

Ostwald Process Intensification by Catalytic Oxidation of Nitric Oxide.
ACS Omega

Department of Chemical Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Sem Sælands vei 4, NO-7491 Trondheim, Norway.
The Ostwald process is one of the commercial pathways for the production of nitric acid (HNO), a key component in the production of nitrate fertilizers. The Ostwald process is a mature, extensively studied, and highly optimized process, and there is still room for further intensification. The process can be further intensified by catalyzing the homogeneous oxidation of nitric oxide to nitrogen dioxide.

Article Synopsis
- Limonene, a compound in essential oils, demonstrates various health benefits like antifungal and antioxidant properties, but its effects can vary based on concentration, showing a biphasic response.
- The study investigates limonene's impact on rat aorta contractions, revealing it can enhance or inhibit contractions depending on the dose, particularly with phenylephrine.
- Understanding these dose-dependent effects is crucial for determining safe and effective therapeutic uses of limonene in clinical settings.

Article Synopsis
- - Radioactive ruthenium can be accidentally released from nuclear fuel reprocessing plants, but there's limited research on its environmental behavior due to its complicated chemical properties.
- - A study was conducted using X-ray absorption fine-structure analysis to examine different chemical forms of stable ruthenium (like RuO4, RuO2, Ru(NO)(NO3)3, and RuCl3) added to soil, revealing how they react and change over time.
- - Results indicated that some forms (e.g., RuO4 and RuCl3) change quickly when in soil, while others (like RuO2 and Ru(NO)(NO3)3) are stable, highlighting the importance of understanding the chemical forms of ru

Ruthenium(II) tetraamine nitrosyl complexes with N-heterocyclic ligands are known for their potential as nitric oxide (NO) donors, capable of releasing NO through either direct photodissociation or one-electron reduction of the Ru(II)NO center. This study delivers a novel insight into the one-electron reduction mechanism for the model complex -[Ru(NO)(NH)(py)] (RuNOpy, py = pyridine) in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4).

Conventional bone tissue engineering materials struggle to reinstate physiological bone remodeling in a diabetic context, primarily due to the compromised repolarization of proinflammatory macrophages to anti-inflammatory macrophages. Here, leveraging single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology, the pivotal role of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) is unveiled in impeding macrophage repolarization during physiological bone remodeling amidst diabetes. Guided by scRNA-seq analysis, we engineer a multienzymatic bone tissue engineering hydrogel scaffold (MEBTHS) composed is engineered of methylpropenylated gelatin hydrogel integrated with ruthenium nanozymes, possessing both Ru and Ru components.
