Abstract
Photoimmunotherapy is a promising cancer treatment modality. While potent 1-e- oxidative species are known to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), they are also associated with unspecific oxidation and collateral tissue damage. This difficulty may be addressed by post-generation radical reinforcement. Namely, non-oxidative radicals are first generated and subsequently activated into powerful oxidative radicals to induce ICD. Here, we developed a photo-triggered molecular donor (NPCD565) of nitrosoperoxycarbonate (ONOOCO2 -), the first of its class to our knowledge, and further evaluated its feasibility for immunotherapy. Upon irradiation of NPCD565 by light within a broad spectral region from ultraviolet to red, ONOOCO2 - is released along with a bright rhodamine dye (RD565), whose fluorescence is a reliable and convenient build-in reporter for the localization, kinetics, and dose of ONOOCO2 - generation. Upon photolysis of NPCD565 in 4T1 cells, damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) indicative of ICD were observed and confirmed to exhibit immunogenicity by induced maturation of dendritic cells. In vivo studies with a bilateral tumor-bearing mouse model showcased the potent tumor-killing capability of NPCD565 of the primary tumors and growth suppression of the distant tumors. This work unveils the potent immunogenicity of ONOOCO2 -, and its donor (NPCD565) has broad potential for photo-immunotherapy of cancer.

Abstract
Small molecule donors (SMDs) play subtle roles in the signaling mechanism and disease treatments. While many excellent SMDs have been developed, dosage control, targeted delivery, spatiotemporal feedback, as well as the efficiency evaluation of small molecules are still key challenges. Accordingly, fluorescent small molecule donors (FSMDs) have emerged to meet these challenges. FSMDs enable controllable release and non-invasive real-time monitoring, providing significant advantages for drug development and clinical diagnosis. Integration of FSMDs with chemotherapeutic, photodynamic or photothermal properties can take full advantage of each mode to enhance therapeutic efficacy. Given the remarkable properties and the thriving development of FSMDs, we believe a review is needed to summarize the design, triggering strategies and tracking mechanisms of FSMDs. With this review, we compiled FSMDs for most small molecules (nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, reactive oxygen species and formaldehyde), and discuss recent progress concerning their molecular design, structural classification, mechanisms of generation, triggered release, structure-activity relationships, and the fluorescence response mechanism. Firstly, from the large number of fluorescent small molecular donors available, we have organized the common structures for producing different types of small molecules, providing a general strategy for the development of FSMDs. Secondly, we have classified FSMDs in terms of the respective donor types and fluorophore structures. Thirdly, we discuss the mechanisms and factors associated with the controlled release of small molecules and the regulation of the fluorescence responses, from which universal guidelines for optical properties and structure rearrangement were established, mainly involving light-controlled, enzyme-activated, reactive oxygen species-triggered, biothiol-triggered, single-electron reduction, click chemistry, and other triggering mechanisms. Fourthly, representative applications of FSMDs for trackable release, and evaluation monitoring, as well as for visible in vivo treatment are outlined, to illustrate the potential of FSMDs in drug screening and precision medicine. Finally, we discuss the opportunities and remaining challenges for the development of FSMDs for practical and clinical applications, which we anticipate will stimulate the attention of researchers in the diverse fields of chemistry, pharmacology, chemical biology and clinical chemistry. With this review, we hope to impart new understanding thereby enabling the rapid development of the next generation of FSMDs.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important biological messenger as well as a signaling molecule that participates in a broad range of physiological events and therapeutic applications in biological systems. However, due to its very short half-life in physiological conditions, its therapeutic applications are restricted. Efforts have been made to develop an enormous number of NO-releasing molecules (NORMs) and motifs for NO delivery to the target tissues. These NORMs involve organic nitrate, nitrite, nitro compounds, transition metal nitrosyls, and several nanomaterials. The controlled release of NO from these NORMs to the specific site requires several external stimuli like light, sound, pH, heat, enzyme, etc. Herein, we have provided a comprehensive review of the biochemistry of nitric oxide, recent advancements in NO-releasing materials with the appropriate stimuli of NO release, and their biomedical applications in cancer and other disease control.

Abstract
Nanotechnology brings hope for targeted drug delivery. However, most current drug delivery systems use passive delivery strategies with limited therapeutic efficiency. Over the past two decades, research on micro/nanomotors (MNMs) has flourished in the biomedical field. Compared with other driven methods, light-driven MNMs have the advantages of being reversible, simple to control, clean, and efficient. Under light irradiation, the MNMs can overcome several barriers in the body and show great potential in the treatment of various diseases, such as tumors, and gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Herein, the classification and mechanism of light-driven MNMs are introduced briefly. Subsequently, the applications of light-driven MNMs in overcoming physiological and pathological barriers in the past five years are highlighted. Finally, the future prospects and challenges of light-driven MNMs are discussed as well. This review will provide inspiration and direction for light-driven MNMs to overcome biological barriers in vivo and promote the clinical application of light-driven MNMs in the biomedical field.

Abstract
The formation of biofilms is closely associated with persistent and chronic infections, and physiological heterogeneity such as pH and oxygen gradients renders biofilms highly resistant to conventional antibiotics. To date, effectively treating biofilm infections remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report the fabrication of micellar nanoparticles adapted to heterogeneous biofilm microenvironments, enabling nitric oxide (NO) release through two distinct photoredox catalysis mechanisms. The key design feature involves the use of tertiary amine (TA) moieties, which function as sacrificial agents to avoid the quenching of photocatalysts under normoxic and neutral pH conditions and proton acceptors at acidic pH to allow deep biofilm penetration. This biofilm-adaptive NO-releasing platform shows excellent antibiofilm activity against ciprofloxacin-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) biofilms both in vitro and in a mouse skin infection model, providing a strategy for combating biofilm heterogeneity and biofilm-related infections.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a signaling molecule that plays a variety of functions in the human body, but it is difficult to use it in biological experiments or for therapeutic purposes because of its high reactivity and instability in the biological milieu. Consequently, photocontrollable NO releasers, which enable spatiotemporal control of NO release, have an important role in elucidating the functions of NO. Our group has developed visible-light-controllable NO-releasing molecules that contain a fluorescent dye structure as a light-harvesting antenna moiety and an N-nitrosoaminophenol structure as an NO-releasing moiety. Here, we aimed to construct an NO-generating system employing an intermolecular photoredox reaction between the two separate components, since this would simplify chemical synthesis and make it easier to examine various dyes as antennae. For this purpose, we constructed polymer nanoparticles doped with both N-methyl-N-nitroso-4-aminophenol (NAP, 1) and an Ir(III) antenna complex (2, 3 or 4) in order to dissolve in aqueous solution without a co-solvent. These polymer nanoparticles released NO upon photoirradiation in vitro in the purple (400-430 nm) or blue (400-460 nm) wavelength region to activate the doped Ir(III) complex.

Abstract
After numerous efforts to elucidate the biological role of nitric oxide (NO), NO treatments have become a hotspot at the forefront of medicine. NO-releasing substances are constantly needed, while the direct use of NO gas is unattainable in bio-systems. An ideal NO donor should possess controllable and visible NO-release capability. The reported NO donating nanoparticles, prepared via encapsulating a hydrophobic NO-releasing compound into DSPE-PEG2000, meet the criteria mentioned previously. The localization and flux of NO released from these nanoparticles could be manipulated by UV or blue light. Meanwhile, NOD-NPs emit a dose-dependent fluorescence intensity to calibrate the generation of NO. While the good biocompatibility of NOD-NPs has been validated, the NO from our nanoparticles demonstrates efficient anti-bacterial and anti-biofilm effects toward Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Therefore, the NOD-NPs developed in this work have potential application in evaluating the regulation of microbes by NO.

Abstract
Gasotransmitters like nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide with unique pleiotropic pharmacological effects in mammals are an emerging therapeutic modality for different human diseases including cancer, infection, ischemia-reperfusion injuries, and inflammation; however, their clinical translation is hampered by the lack of a reliable delivery form, which delivers such gasotransmitters to the action site with precisely controlled dosage. The external stimuli-responsive prodrug strategy has shown tremendous potential in developing gasotransmitter prodrugs, which affords precise temporospatial control and better dose control compared with endogenous stimuli-sensitive prodrugs. The promising external stimuli employed for gasotransmitter activation range from photo, ultrasound, and bioorthogonal click chemistry to exogenous enzymes. Herein, we highlight the recent development of external stimuli-mediated decaging chemistry for the temporospatial delivery of gasotransmitters including nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide, and discuss the pros and cons of different designs.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is a major threat to the health and life of humans due to the development of drug resistance, which is related to biofilm formation. Nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as an important factor in regulating biofilm formation. In order to harness the potential benefits of NO and develop effective antibacterial agents, we designed and synthesized a new class of NO hybrids in which the active scaffold benzothienoazepine was tagged with a nitroso group and further conjugated with quaternary ammoniums or phosphoniums. The temporal release of NO from these hybrids can be achieved by photoactivation. Interestingly, the NO release follows a pseudo-zero-order kinetics, which is easily determined by measuring the fluorescent benzothienoazepine or NO. Compared to the positive control ciprofloxacin, the NO hybrid with triphenyl phosphonium (TPP) exhibited more effective activity against S. aureus biofilm in darkness. Irradiation of the NO hybrid led to higher inhibition against S. aureus biofilm compared to the parental NO hybrid in darkness or the corresponding NO-released product, indicating the combined effect of NO and the NO-released product. Therefore, this new class of NO hybrids includes very promising antimicrobial agents and this work provides a new way for the design of highly effective antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a multifaceted role in human physiology and pathophysiology, and its controlled delivery has great prospects in therapeutic applications. The light-activated uncaging of NO from NO caging compounds allows this free radical to be released with accurate control of site and dosage, which strictly determine its biological effects. Molecular constructs able to activate fluorescence concomitantly to NO release offer the important advantage of easy and real-time tracking of the amount of NO uncaged in a non-invasive fashion even in the cell environment. This contribution provides an overview of the advances in photoactivatable NO releasers bearing fluorescent reporting functionalities achieved in our and other laboratories, highlighting the rationale design and their potential therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Nitric oxide donors (NODs) are indispensable in biological research and disease treatment. NODs had been utilized to treat cardiovascular diseases in clinic and many others are under trial. Thiols are typically required for these donors to release NO. Yet, their mechanism is complex and often lead to resistance. Herein, we reported that N-nitrosated electron-deficient dyes are capable of NO release with one-electron reduction. A fluorophore is generated simultaneously, whose fluorescence is harnessed to monitor the profile of NO release. Through electrochemical and spectral studies, NOD f3 was found to exhibit good biocompatibility and high reduction efficiency and its potentials in cell-protection in oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) models were showcased with endothelial cells. This work aims at offering a new approach to design reduction-triggered NOD, which have therapeutic potentials in ischemia-reperfusion.

Abstract
Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable) protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to enable non-invasive spatiotemporal photochemical control over the release of species of interest. Recent years have seen the development of PPGs activatable by biologically and chemically benign visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. These long-wavelength-absorbing moieties expand the applicability of this powerful method and its accessibility to non-specialist users. This review comprehensively covers organic and transition metal-containing photoactivatable compounds (complexes) that absorb in the visible- and NIR-range to release various leaving groups and gasotransmitters (carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen sulfide). The text also covers visible- and NIR-light-induced photosensitized release using molecular sensitizers, quantum dots, and upconversion and second-harmonic nanoparticles, as well as release via photodynamic (photooxygenation by singlet oxygen) and photothermal effects. Release from photoactivatable polymers, micelles, vesicles, and photoswitches, along with the related emerging field of photopharmacology, is discussed at the end of the review.

Abstract
The frontier of nitric oxide biology has gradually shifted from mechanism elucidation to biomanipulation, e.g. cell-proliferation promotion, cell-apoptosis induction, and lifespan modulation. This warrants biocompatible nitric oxide (NO) donating materials, whose NO release is not only controlled by a bioorthogonal trigger, but also self-calibrated allowing real-time monitoring and hence an onset/offset of the NO release. Additionally, the dose of NO release should be facilely adjusted in a large dynamic range; flux and the dose are critical to the biological outcome of NO treatment. Via self-assembly of a PEGylated small-molecule NO donor, we developed novel NO-donating nanoparticles (PEG-NORM), which meet all the aforementioned criteria. We showcased that a low flux of NO induced cell proliferation, while a high flux induced cell oxidative stress and, ultimately, death. Notably, PEG-NORM was capable of efficiently modulating the lifespan of C. elegans. The average lifespan of C. elegans could be fine-tuned to be as short as 15.87 ± 0.29 days with a high dose of NO, or as long as 21.13 ± 0.41 days with a low dose of NO, compared to an average life-span of 18.87 ± 0.46 days. Thus, PEG-NORM has broad potential in cell manipulation and life-span modulation and could drive the advancement of NO biology and medicine.

Abstract
Due to the high activity and difficult to transport of nitric oxide, the controlled release of nitric oxide has been a new trend in the research on the biological effect of nitric oxide. In this paper, a water-soluble and turn-on fluorescent NO donor Rh-NO was synthesized. Upon 525 nm irradiation, the fluorescence of the Rh-NO at 568 nm enhanced with the quantum yield (ΦF) of Rh-NO changing from 5.08% to 35.96%. The mechanism of NO releasing was proved by HRMS and the Dan. The releasing time of 6 min and the releasing yield of 0.61 proved the superiority of Rh-NO. Excellent cell activity above 80% of Rh-NO and Rh guaranteed that nitric oxide was released from Rh-NO in lysosome and zebrafishes successfully, which provided a good platform to understand the biological effects of nitric oxide in lysosomes.

Abstract
Stem cell therapy has proven to be an attractive solution for the treatment of degenerative diseases or injury. However, poor cell engraftment and survival within injured tissues limits the successful use of stem cell therapy within the clinical setting. Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule involved in various physiological processes. Emerging evidence supports NO's diverse roles in modulating stem cell behavior, including survival, migration, differentiation, and paracrine secretion of proregenerative factors. Thus, there has been a shift in research focus to concentrate efforts on the delivery of therapeutic concentration ranges of NO to the target tissue sites. Combinatory therapies utilizing biomaterials that control NO generation and support stem cell delivery can be holistic and synergistic approaches to significantly improve tissue regeneration. Here, the focus is on recent developments of various therapeutic platforms, engineered to both transport NO and to enhance stem-cell-mediated regeneration of damaged tissues. New and emerging revelations of how the stem cell microenvironment can be regulated by NO-releasing biomaterials are also highlighted.

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
Nitric oxide (NO) induces a multitude of antitumor activities, encompassing the induction of apoptosis, sensitization to chemo-, radio-, or immune-therapy, and inhibition of metastasis, drug resistance, angiogenesis, and hypoxia, thus attracting much attention in the area of cancer intervention. To improve the precise targeting and treatment efficacy of NO, a glutathione (GSH)-sensitive NO donor (1,5-bis[(l-proline-1-yl)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diol- O2-yl]-2,4-dinitrobenzene, BPDB) coordinates with iron ions to form the nanoscale coordination polymer (NCP) via a simple precipitation and then partial ion exchange process. The obtained Fe(II)-BNCP shows desirable solubility, biocompatibility, and circulation stability. Quick NO release triggered by high concentrations of GSH in tumor cells improves the specificity of NO release in situ, thus avoiding side effects in other tissues. Meanwhile, under high concentrations of H2O2 in tumors, Fe2+ ions in BPDB-based NCP, named Fe(II)-BNCP, exert Fenton activity to generate hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which is the main contribution for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). In addition, ·O2- generated by the Haber-Weiss reaction of Fe2+ ions with H2O2 can quickly react with NO to produce peroxynitrite anion (ONOO-) that is more cytotoxic than ·O2- or NO only. This synergistic NO-CDT effect has been proved to retard the tumor growth in Heps xenograft ICR mouse models. This work not only implements a synergistic effect of NO-CDT therapy but also offers a simple and efficient strategy to construct a coordination polymer nanomedicine via rationally designed prodrug molecules such as NO donors.
