Abstract
We have synthesized cis-[Ru(bpy)2(NO2-κN)Ln-](n-1) and cis-[Ru(bpy)2(NO2-κO)L n-](n-1) (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine; k = indication of the coordinated center to Ruthenium; L = pyridine type ligand) by reacting cis-[Ru(bpy)2(H2O)Ln-](n-2) with sodium nitrite or conducting basic cis-[Ru(bpy)2NO(Ln-)](n-3) hydrolysis. Photolysis at the metal-ligand charge transfer band (MLCT) of the isomers yielded nitric oxide (NO) as determined by NO measurement. The NO photorelease rates obtained upon 447 nm laser irradiation of the ruthenium complexes showed that cis-[Ru(bpy)2(NO2-κO)Ln-](n-1) released NO three times faster than cis-[Ru(bpy)2(NO2-κN)Ln-](n-1). We investigated endothelium-dependent vasodilation induced by cis-[Ru(bpy)2(4-pic)(NO2-κN)]+ and cis-[Ru(bpy)2(4-pic)(NO2-κO)]+ (4-pic = 4-picoline) in isolated 3 mm aortic rings precontracted with L-phenylephrine. Maximum vasodilation was achieved under 447 nm laser irradiation of 0.5 μMol.L−1 ruthenium complexes for 100 s.
