N,N-Dinitroso-p-phenylenediamine-N,N-diacetic Acid, Disodium Salt is a caged, photolabile Nitric Oxide donor that is useful for delivering nitric oxide into intracellular compartments in microsecond time scale without any cytotoxic effects. Upon irradiation these donors produce two NO molecules per molecule of BNN. Thiols present in biological systems do not interfere with the release of NO from these caged compounds.
