​Nitric Oxide-Donor Systems in Medicine and Cosmetics

Nitric oxide (NO) is a crucial biological signaling molecule that plays vital roles in cardiovascular health, immune response, and cellular communication. Recent advances in pharmaceutical and cosmetic sciences have focused on developing controlled NO-release systems to harness its therapeutic benefits.

​

In medicine, NO-donor compounds show promise for treating cardiovascular diseases, wound healing, and antimicrobial applications. These systems can deliver nitric oxide in a controlled manner, avoiding the challenges associated with NO's short half-life and gaseous nature.

​

In cosmetics, NO-releasing formulations are being explored for anti-aging applications, as nitric oxide promotes collagen synthesis and improves skin microcirculation. This leads to enhanced skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and improved overall skin health.

​

The synthesis of stable NO-donor systems involves creating compounds that can release nitric oxide under specific conditions - whether through enzymatic activation, pH changes, or light exposure. Current research focuses on optimizing release kinetics, biocompatibility, and targeted delivery to maximize therapeutic efficacy while minimizing side effects.

​

This interdisciplinary approach combining chemistry, biology, and materials science opens new possibilities for innovative treatments in both healthcare and beauty industries. Our research has culminated in the development of a revolutionary magnetic plasma system for infusing various compounds with nitric oxide, which has been protected by patent for consumable, medical, and cosmetic products. This patented technology enables on-demand production of fresh, high-purity nitric oxide and its direct infusion into compounds without degradation, addressing the critical challenges of cost, stability, and quality in NO-based therapeutics.
