Application

CORM-A1 has been used:
  • to deliver carbon monoxide (CO) and to test its cytoprotection in yeast and primary astrocytes culture during oxidative stress
  • as CO donor in murine macrophages J774A.1 cells to test its effect on cellular β-endorphins elevation
  • to test its effect on mitophagy activation in retinal ganglion cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

CORM-A1 is a water-soluble carbon monoxide (CO) releasing molecule that can be used to study the effects of CO on cellular systems. Carbon monoxide (CO), produced during the degradation of heme by the enzyme heme oxygenase is an important gaseous signaling mediator in mammalian cells CORM-A1 has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
It mediates the release of CO in a pH and temperature-dependent manner, thus favoring mild vasorelaxation and hypotension. During oxidative stress, CORM-A1 is reported to provide cytoprotection in astrocyte primary cultures. This boron-containing CORM promotes autophagy.

Heme oxygenase (HO), a catabolic enzyme, provides the rate-limiting step in the oxidative breakdown of heme, to generate carbon monoxide (CO), iron, and biliverdin-IXα. Induction of the inducible form, HO-1, in tissues is generally regarded as a protective mechanism. Over

BackgroundThe potential contribution of sex-related variables to cerebrovascular functions in neonates remains elusive. Newborn piglets provide a translationally relevant model for studying the effects of seizures in the neonatal brain. The present study investigated whether sex differences contribute to cerebrovascular

Autophagy is an autodigestive process, promoting cytoprotection by the elimination of dysfunctional organelles, misfolded proteins and toxic aggregates. Carbon monoxide (CO) is an endogenous gasotransmitter that under low concentrations prevents cell death and inflammation. For the first time, the role
