The achievement of materials that are able to release therapeutic agents under the control of light stimuli to improve therapeutic efficacy is a significant challenge in health care. Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the most studied molecules in the fascinating realm of biomedical sciences, not only for its crucial role as a gaseous signaling molecule in the human body but also for its great potential as an unconventional therapeutic in a variety of diseases including cancer, bacterial and viral infections, and neurodegeneration. Handling difficulties due to its gaseous nature, reduced region of action due to its short half-life, and strict dependence of the biological effects on its concentration and generation site are critical questions to be solved for appropriate therapeutic uses of NO. Light-activatable NO precursors, namely, NO photodonors (NOPDs), address the above issues since they are stable in the dark and permit in a noninvasive fashion the remote-controlled delivery of NO on demand with great spatiotemporal precision. Engineering biocompatible materials with NOPDs and their combination with additional imaging, therapeutic, and phototherapeutic components leads to intriguing light-responsive multifunctional constructs exhibiting promising potential for biomedical applications. This contribution illustrates the most significant progress made over the last five years in achieving engineered materials including nanoparticles, gels, and thin films, sharing the common feature to deliver NO under the exclusive control of the biocompatible visible/near infrared light inputs. We will highlight the logical design behind the fabrication of these systems, illustrating the potential therapeutic applications with particular emphasis on cancer and bacterial infections.
