Abstract
Diazeniumdiolates spontaneously release nitric oxide (NO) in aqueous solutions. Therefore, protected diazeniumdiolates have been developed for the controlled administration of NO to specific targets. Diazeniumdiolates with photoprotecting groups are useful for spatiotemporal NO delivery. To develop photoactivated NO donors, understanding the photodissociation dynamics of photoprotected diazeniumdiolates is essential. The dynamics of photoexcited V-PYRRO/NO (a well-studied liver-selective NO prodrug) was investigated to understand the photodissociation mechanism of protected diazeniumdiolates at the molecular level. Upon excitation at 305 nm, the N═N bond of V-PYRRO/NO was cleaved within 0.3 ps, producing N-nitrosopyrrolidine and CH2═CHON. CH2═CHON, the first oxynitrene directly observed in the solution in real-time, was formed in the singlet state and rearranged into CH2═CHNO with a time constant of 16 ± 5 ns. The calculated potential energy surfaces of the excited states confirmed the unusual breakage of the N═N bond. The findings can be utilized to develop more effective photoactivated diazeniumdiolates.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Physical Chemistry (JPC) Letters is devoted to reporting new and original experimental and theoretical basic research of interest to physical chemists, biophysical chemists, chemical physicists, physicists, material scientists, and engineers. An important criterion for acceptance is that the paper reports a significant scientific advance and/or physical insight such that rapid publication is essential. Two issues of JPC Letters are published each month.
