A mitochondria-targeted nitric oxide donor triggered by superoxide radical to alleviate myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury†
Abstract
A novel mitochondria-targeted superoxide-responsive nitric oxide donor was developed by incorporation of diphenylphosphinyl and triphenylphosphonium groups into diazeniumdiolate, enabling remarkable protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury in H9c2 cells and isolated rat hearts.
