Abstract: Compositions and methods thereof, for preventing or minimizing skin penetration and that promote surface-layer fixation of dermatological molecules in a human body are disclosed. The molecules of the present invention and compositions containing said molecules comprise a tissue-reactive part, an amphiphilic part, a light-functional part and optionally a detachment mechanism for releasing said tissue-reactive part from said light-functional part. The methods include ways of combining the tissue-reactive part, amphiphilic part, light-functional part and optionally synthesizing a detachment mechanism therein. The parts when combined form molecular structures possessing novel photobiological persistence and efficacy.

Abstract: A molecule for stabilizing a bioactive chemical group capable of releasing nitric oxide in vivo is described. The molecule possesses multi-functionality, enabling the delivery of multiple nitric oxide precursors on a single molecule. In some embodiments, a tissue or prosthetic bonding group is attached to one of the functional arms of the molecule making the molecule of the present invention localizing to tissue or an implant.
