Nitric oxide-releasing molecules

摘要

This invention relates to compositions comprising carbon-based diazeniumdiolates that release nitric oxide (NO). The carbon-based diazeniumdiolated molecules release NO spontaneously under physiological conditions without subsequent nitrosamine formation. The present invention also relates to methods of preparing the carbon-based diazeniumdiolated molecules, compositions comprising such molecules, methods of using such compositions, and devices employing such molecule compositions.
