Use of nitroaniline derivatives for the production of nitric oxide

The present disclosure relates to the use of a nitroaniline deriv. of Formula (I) for the prodn. of nitric oxide and for the prepn. of a medicament for the treatment of a disease wherein the administration of nitric oxide is beneficial. The present disclosure furthermore relates to a method for the prodn. of NO irradiating a nitroaniline deriv. I, a kit comprising a nitroaniline deriv. I and a carrier and to a system comprising a source of radiations and a container assocd. to a nitroaniline deriv.I. In Formula I, R and RI are each independently hydrogen or a C1-C3 alkyl group; RII is hydrogen or an alkyl group.
