Nanomedicine NO donor Release condition Working mechanism of NO Refs
AuNC@NO N-Hydroxy-N-nitrosamine NO donor NIR irradiation (heat) NO/PTT synergistically degrades MRSA biofilms 238
PGalNO CouN(NO)-R NIR irradiation High concentration of NO kills bacteria 115
pH@MSN-CaP-NO diazeniumdiolate pH 5.0 NO promotes cornea wound healing 147
BP1 Vesicles oNBN, pNBN, BN UV 365 nm irradiation NO promotes cell migration and viability 149
PU/PPEG-OH-MPS-NO R-SNO Physiological conditions. NO has a broad-spectrum antibacterial property 239
