Organoditelluride-tethered polymers that spontaneously generate nitric oxide when in contact with fresh blood†
Abstract
An organoditelluride (RTeTeR) species (5,5′-ditelluro-2,2′-dithiophenecarboxylic acid, DTDTCA) that catalytically decomposes endogenous S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) to nitric oxide (NO) in the presence of free
