Enhanced Antitumor Activity against Melanoma Cancer Cells by Nitric Oxide Release and Photosensitized Generation of Singlet Oxygen from Ruthenium Complexes

We have investigated the synergistic effect of nitric oxide and singlet oxygen originating from stimulated ruthenium complexes and their photodynamic action against a melanoma cancer cell line. In aqueous solution, the photosensitizer [Ru(NH3)5pz]2+(I; pz = pyrazine) and the nitrosylruthenium comple...
