Abstract

Using a facile synthetic route, an organic NO release agent based on a BODIPY light-harvesting antenna was devised. This compound is stable in the dark and delivers NO under photoexcitation with biologically favorable green light. Temporally regulated vasodilation capability is demonstrated on rat aorta by green-light-induced NO release.
