Abstract
The photochemistry and use of recently developed photosensitive precursors to nitric oxide (NO) are reviewed. As "caged NO" donors these precursors are able to deliver NO in a spatially and temporally controllable manner. These properties have made such precursors useful in applications in biology and medicine, especially in elucidating neurophysiological roles of NO and in new cancer therapies.
