Nitric oxide (NO) is a well-known free-radical molecule which is endogenously biosynthesised and shows various functions in mammals. To investigate NO functions, photocontrollable NO donors, compounds which release NO in response to light, are expected to be potentially useful. However, most of the conventional NO donors require harmful ultra-violet light for NO release. In this study, two dimethylnitrobenzene derivatives conjugated with coumarins were designed, synthesized and evaluated as photocontrollable NO donors. The optical properties and efficiency of photo-induced NO release were dependent upon the nature of the conjugation system. One of these compounds, Bhc-DNB (1), showed spatiotemporally well-controlled NO release in cultured cells upon exposure to light in the less-cytotoxic visible wavelength range (400-430 nm).
