Abstract
The multifaceted role nitric oxide (NO) plays in human physiology and pathophysiology has opened new scenarios in biomedicine by exploiting this free radical as an unconventional therapeutic against important diseases. The difficulties in handling gaseous NO and the strict dependence of the biological effects on its doses and location have made the light-activated NO precursors, namely NO photodonors (NOPDs), very appealing by virtue of their precise spatiotemporal control of NO delivery. The covalent integration of NOPDs and additional functional components within the same molecular skeleton through suitable linkers can lead to an intriguing class of multifunctional photoactivatable molecular hybrids. In this Perspective, we provide an overview of the recent advances in these molecular constructs, emphasizing those merging NO photorelease with targeting, fluorescent reporting, and phototherapeutic functionalities. We will highlight the rational design behind synthesizing these molecular hybrids and critically describe the advantages, drawbacks, and opportunities they offer in biomedical research.

Abstract
Tumor hypoxia diminishes the effectiveness of traditional type II photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to oxygen consumption. Type I PDT, which can operate independently of oxygen, is a viable option for treating hypoxic tumors. In this study, we have designed and synthesized JSK@PEG-IR820 NPs that are responsive to the tumor microenvironment (TME) to enhance type I PDT through glutathione (GSH) depletion. Our approach aims to expand the sources of therapeutic benefits by promoting the generation of superoxide radicals (O2-.) while minimizing their consumption. The diisopropyl group within PEG-IR820 serves a dual purpose: it functions as a pH sensor for the disassembly of the NPs to release JSK and enhances intermolecular electron transfer to IR820, facilitating efficient O2-. generation. Simultaneously, the release of JSK leads to GSH depletion, resulting in the generation of nitric oxide (NO). This, in turn, contributes to the formation of highly cytotoxic peroxynitrite (ONOO-.), thereby enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of these NPs. NIR-II fluorescence imaging guided therapy has achieved successful tumor eradication with the assistance of laser therapy.

Abstract
Low level nitric oxide (NO) produced by inducible NO synthase (iNOS) in many malignant tumors is known to play a key role in the survival and proliferation of tumor cells. NO can also induce or augment resistance to anti-tumor treatments such as platinum-based chemotherapy (CT), ionizing radiotherapy (RT), and non-ionizing photodynamic therapy (PDT). In each of these treatments, tumor cells that survive the challenge may exhibit a striking increase in NO-dependent proliferative, migratory, and invasive aggressiveness compared with non-challenged controls. Moreover, NO from cells directly targeted by PDT can often stimulate aggressiveness in non- or poorly targeted bystander cells. Although NO-mediated resistance to many of these therapies is fairly-well recognized by now, the hyper-aggressiveness of surviving cells and bystander counterparts is not. We will focus on these negative aspects in this review, citing examples from the PDT, CT, and RT publications. Increased aggressiveness of cells that escape therapeutic elimination is a concern because it could enhance tumor progression and metastatic dissemination. Pharmacologic approaches for suppressing these negative responses will also be discussed, e.g., administering inhibitors of iNOS activity or iNOS expression as therapeutic adjuvants.

Abstract
The design, synthesis, photochemical properties, and biological evaluation of a novel molecular dyad with double photodynamic action and its formulation within biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) are reported. A BODIPY-based singlet oxygen (1O2) photosensitizer (PS) and a nitric oxide (NO) photodonor (NOPD) based on an amino-nitro-benzofurazan moiety have been covalently joined in a new molecular dyad, through a flexible alkyl spacer. Excitation of the dyad with visible light in the range 400-570 nm leads to the concomitant generation of the cytotoxic 1O2 and NO with effective quantum yields, being ΦΔ = 0.49 ± 0.05 and ΦNO = 0.18 ± 0.01, respectively. Besides, the non-fluorescent NOPD unit becomes highly fluorescent after the NO release, acting as an optical reporter for the NO photogenerated. The dyad is not soluble in water medium but can be effectively entrapped in water-dispersible, biodegradable polymeric NPs made of mPEG-PCL, ca. 66 nm in diameter. The polymeric nano-environment affects in an opposite way the photochemical performances of the dyad, reducing ΦΔ to 0.16 ± 0.02 and increasing ΦNO to 0.92 ± 0.03, respectively. The NPs effectively deliver the photoactive cargo into the cytoplasm of HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells. A remarkable level of cell mortality is observed for the loaded NPs at very low concentrations of the dyad (1-5 µM) and very low light doses (≤0.8 J cm-2) more likely as the result of the combined photodynamic action of 1O2 and NO.

Phytocomplex of a Standardized Extract from Red Orange ( Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) against Photoaging. Cells 2022; 11:cells11091447.

Abstract
Excessive exposure to solar radiation is associated with several deleterious effects on human skin. These effects vary from the occasional simple sunburn to conditions resulting from chronic exposure such as skin aging and cancers. Secondary metabolites from the plant kingdom, including phenolic compounds, show relevant photoprotective activities. In this study, we evaluated the potential photoprotective activity of a phytocomplex derived from three varieties of red orange (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck). We used an in vitro model of skin photoaging on two human cell lines, evaluating the protective effects of the phytocomplex in the pathways involved in the response to damage induced by UVA-B. The antioxidant capacity of the extract was determined at the same time as evaluating its influence on the cellular redox state (ROS levels and total thiol groups). In addition, the potential protective action against DNA damage induced by UVA-B and the effects on mRNA and protein expression of collagen, elastin, MMP1, and MMP9 were investigated, including some inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-6, and total and phospho NFkB) by ELISA. The obtained results highlight the capacity of the extract to protect cells both from oxidative stress—preserving RSH (p < 0.05) content and reducing ROS (p < 0.01) levels—and from UVA-B-induced DNA damage. Furthermore, the phytocomplex is able to counteract harmful effects through the significant downregulation of proinflammatory markers (p < 0.05) and MMPs (p < 0.05) and by promoting the remodeling of the extracellular matrix through collagen and elastin expression. This allows the conclusion that red orange extract, with its strong antioxidant and photoprotective properties, represents a safe and effective option to prevent photoaging caused by UVA-B exposure.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) has an important class of endogenous diatomic molecules that play a key regulatory role in many physiological and biochemical processes. However, the type of nitrosamine NO donor stimulated by light has many advantages compared to the conventional NO donors such as diazeniumdiolates and S-nitrosothiols compounds, including easy synthesis, good stability, and controllable release. In addition, NO release can be regulated by light induction with a built-in calibration mechanism fluorescence. Here, we report that the migration and proliferation of human umbilical vein vascular endothelial cells could be accelerated by the light-triggered NO donors, leading to the angiogenesis. Meanwhile, the screened NO donor 3a with Levofloxacin (Lev) showed synergistic effects to eradicate Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms in vitro and treat bacteria-infected wound in vivo.

Abstract
BODIPY dyes have recently attracted attention as potential photosensitizers. In this work, commercial and novel photosensitizers (PSs) based on BODIPY chromophores (haloBODIPYs and orthogonal dimers strategically designed with intense bands in the blue, green or red region of the visible spectra and high singlet oxygen production) were covalently linked to mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) further functionalized with PEG and folic acid (FA). MSNs approximately 50 nm in size with different functional groups were synthesized to allow multiple alternatives of PS-PEG-FA decoration of their external surface. Different combinations varying the type of PS (commercial Rose Bengal, Thionine and Chlorine e6 or custom-made BODIPY-based), the linkage design, and the length of PEG are detailed. All the nanosystems were physicochemically characterized (morphology, diameter, size distribution and PS loaded amount) and photophysically studied (absorption capacity, fluorescence efficiency, and singlet oxygen production) in suspension. For the most promising PS-PEG-FA silica nanoplatforms, the biocompatibility in dark conditions and the phototoxicity under suitable irradiation wavelengths (blue, green, or red) at regulated light doses (10-15 J/cm2) were compared with PSs free in solution in HeLa cells in vitro.

Abstract
Light-activatable nitric oxide (NO) donors have become of interest in the recent years. They produce NO when illuminated by light, which enables the control of its local concentration and is promising for biomedical applications. Several successful prototypes of photodonors have been published, but further research is needed to improve their properties such as water-solubility, activation wavelength, biocompatibility etc. One of major challenges on this way is to evaluate the efficiency of NO generation. Several methods may be used to track NO, including spin traps, specific electrodes and fluorescence-based probes. We have studied the applicability of well-known fluorescent reporter, diaminorhodamine (DAR-2), for the evaluation of NO production by photodonors. Our results indicate that DAR-2 can be used for the quantification of NO photorelease if this process is not accompanied by the singlet oxygen formation. Otherwise the oxidation of probe results in huge fluorescence increase, which interferes with signal due to reaction with NO. This issue should be taken into account when studying hybrids releasing both NO and 1O2, which are promising for photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Polymeric materials releasing nitric oxide have attracted significant attention for therapeutic use in recent years. As one of the gaseous signaling agents in eukaryotic cells, endogenously generated nitric oxide (NO) is also capable of regulating the behavior of bacteria as well as biofilm formation in many metabolic pathways. To overcome the drawbacks caused by the radical nature of NO, synthetic or natural polymers bearing NO releasing moiety have been prepared as nano-sized materials, coatings, and hydrogels. To successfully design these materials, the amount of NO released within a certain duration, the targeted pathogens and the trigger mechanisms upon external stimulation with light, temperature, and chemicals should be taken into consideration. Meanwhile, NO donors like S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) and N-diazeniumdiolates (NONOates) have been widely utilized for developing antimicrobial polymeric agents through polymer-NO donor conjugation or physical encapsulation. In addition, antimicrobial materials with visible light responsive NO donor are also reported as strong and physiological friendly tools for rapid bacterial clearance. This review highlights approaches to delivery NO from different types of polymeric materials for combating diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria, which hopefully can inspire researchers facing common challenges in the coming 'post-antibiotic' era.

Abstract
Combination of photosensitizers (PS) for photodynamic therapy with NO photodonors (NOPD) is opening intriguing horizons towards new and still underexplored multimodal anticancer and antibacterial treatments not based on "conventional" drugs and entirely controlled by light stimuli. In this contribution, we report an intriguing molecular hybrid based on a BODIPY light-harvesting antenna that acts simultaneously as PS and NOPD upon single photon excitation with the highly biocompatible green light. The presented hybrid offers a combination of superior advantages with respect to the other rare cases reported to date, meeting most of the key criteria for both PSs and NOPDs in the same molecular entity such as: (i) capability to generate 1O2 and NO with single photon excitation of biocompatible visible light, (ii) excellent 1O2 quantum yield and NO quantum efficiency, (iii) photogeneration of NO independent from the presence of oxygen, (iv) large light harvesting properties in the green region. Furthermore, this compound together with its stable photoproduct, is well tolerated by both normal and cancer cells in the dark and exhibits bimodal photomortality of cancer cells under green light excitation due to the combined action of the cytotoxic 1O2 and NO.

Abstract
Emerging treatment approaches, such as gas therapy (GT), photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), have received widespread attention. The development of an intelligent multifunctional nano-platform responding to tumor microenvironments for multimodal therapy is highly desirable. Herein, a near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive nitric oxide (NO) photodonor (4-nitro-3-trifluoromethylaniline, NF) and a pH-sensitive group (dimethylaminophenyl) have been introduced into a diketopyrrolopyrrole core (denoted as DPP-NF). The DPP-NF nanoparticles (NPs) can be activated under weakly acidic conditions of lysosomes (pH 4.5-5.0) to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and enhance photothermal efficiency. The fluorescence detection demonstrated that NO controllable release can be realized by "on-off" switching of the NF unit under NIR light irradiation or dark conditions. The controllable NO release of DPP-NF NPs can not only trigger tumor cell death by DNA damage, but also overcome PDT inefficiencies caused by hypoxia in tumors. Additionally, DPP-NF NPs displayed 45.6% photothermal conversion efficiency, making them superior to other reported DPP derivatives. In vitro studies showed that DPP-NF NPs possessed low dark toxicity and high phototoxicity with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of about 38 μg mL-1. In vivo phototherapy indicated that DPP-NF NPs exhibited excellent tumor phototherapeutic efficacy with passive targeting of the tumor site via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. These results highlight that the nano-platform has promising potential for NO-mediated multimodal synergistic phototherapy in clinical settings.

Abstract
Combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with other treatment modalities is emerging as one of the most suitable strategies to increase the effectiveness of therapeutic action on cancer and bacterial diseases and to minimize side effects. This approach aims at exploiting the additive/synergistic effects arising from multiple therapeutic species acting on different mechanistic pathways. The coupling of PDT with photocontrolled release of nitric oxide (NO) through the appropriate assembly of PDT photosensitizers (PSs) and NO photodonors (NOPDs) may open up intriguing avenues towards new and still underexplored multimodal therapies not based on "conventional" drugs but entirely controlled by light stimuli. In this contribution, we present an overview of the most recent advances in this field, illustrating several strategies to assemble PSs and NOPDs allowing them to operate independently without reciprocal interferences and describing the potential applications with particular emphasis on their impact in anticancer and antibacterial research.

Abstract
Amphiphilic cyclodextrins (aCDs) are an intriguing class of carrier systems which, recently, have been proposed to deliver porphyrinoids and anticancer drugs or combined dose of both for dual therapeutic applications. The design of nanoassemblies based on aCD and photosensitizers (PSs) aims to preserve the photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy of PS, reducing the tendency of PS to self-aggregate, without affecting the quantum yield of singlet oxygen (1O2) production, and, not less importantly, minimizing dark toxicity and reducing photosensitization effects. With this idea in mind, in this paper, we focus on nanoassemblies between a non-ionic aCD (SC6OH) and halo-alkyl tailored iodinated boron-dipyrromethenes (BODIPY) dye, a class of molecules which recently have been successfully proposed as a stimulating alternative to porphyrinoids for their high photodynamic efficacy. Nanoassemblies of BODIPY/aCD (BL01I@SC6OH) were prepared in different aqueous media by evaporation of mixed organic film of aCD and BODIPY, hydration, and sonication. The nanostructures were characterized, measuring their hydrodynamic diameter and ξ-potential and also evaluating their time-stability in biological relevant media. Taking advantage of emissive properties of the not-iodinated BODIPY analogue (BL01), nanoassemblies based on aCD and BL01 were investigated as model system to get insight on entanglement of BODIPY in the amphiphile in aqueous dispersion, pointing out that BODIPY is well-entrapped in monomeric form (τ ≅ 6.5 ns) within the colloidal carriers. Also morphology and fluorescence emission properties were elucidated after casting the solution on glass. BL01@SC6OH is easily detectable in cytoplasm of HCT116 cell lines, evidencing the remarkable intracellular penetration of this nanoassembly similar to free BODIPY. On the same cell lines, the photodynamically active assembly BL01I/aCD shows toxicity upon irradiation. Despite the fact that free BL01I is more PDT active than its assembly, aCD can modulate the cell uptake of BODIPY, pointing out the potential of this system for in vivo PDT application.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), based on the photoactivation of photosensitizers (PSs), has become a well-studied therapy for cancer. Photofrin®, belonging to the first generation of PS, is still widely used for the treatment of different kinds of cancers; however, it has several drawbacks that significantly limit its general clinical use. Consequently, there has been extensive research on the design of PS molecules with optimized pharmaceutical properties, with aiming of overcoming the disadvantages of traditional PS, such as poor chemical purity, long half-life, excessive accumulation into the skin, and low attenuation coefficients. The rational design of novel PS with desirable properties has attracted considerable research in the pharmaceutical field. This review presents an overview on the classical photosensitizers and the most significant recent advances in the development of PS with regard to their potential application in oncology.

All compounds preserve their capability to generate NO under visible light and possess overall σ receptor nanomolar affinity, with one of them (8b) exhibiting remarkable σ2 receptor selectivity. Compounds 8b, 11a, and 11b were tested on tumorigenic MCF-7 and A2058 cells expressing high levels of σ2 and σ1 receptor, respectively. Considerable loss of cell viability was detected under light excitation, while negligible effects in the dark were detected. Moreover, they did not show any significant cytotoxicity in the dark or under irradiation on nontumorigenic NCTC-2544 keratinocytes. NO-induced reduction of cellular viability was demonstrated by in-cell NO detection and total nitrite estimation. For the first time, a combination of σ receptor moieties and a NO photodonor is reported, providing distinctive ligands potentially useful for cancer management.
