Reactivity and Mechanistic Aspects of NO and HNO Donors
Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to both promote and inhibit tumor growth depending on its concentration. Ruthenium nitrosyl complexes have been suggested as catalytic NO donors. Catalysis may provide prolonged and elevated NO donation, which can lead to tumor regression. The mechanism of NO release...

Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to both promote and inhibit tumor growth depending on its concentration. Ruthenium nitrosyl complexes have been suggested as catalytic NO donors.
