Bioorthogonal introduction of nitrite ions into cells for cancer therapy

A team of researchers writing in the journal Angewandte Chemie has developed a bioorthogonal molecular system for the targeted introduction of nitrite ions into cells. Their system releases nitrite ions in cancer cells using a "click-to-release" strategy and these ions, along with other active ingredients, help to initiate cell death. The system could improve the synergistic effects of various cancer therapy drugs.
