We describe two water-soluble ruthenium complexes, [1]Cl<sub>2</sub> and [2]Cl<sub>2</sub> , that photodissociate to release a cytotoxic nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) inhibitor with a low dose (21 J cm<sup>-2</sup> ) of red light in an oxygen-independent manner. Using a specific NAMPT activity assay, up to an 18-fold increase in inhibition potency was measured upon red-light activation of [2]Cl<sub>2</sub> , while [1]Cl<sub>2</sub> was thermally unstable. For the first time, the ...[more]
