Application

Carbon monoxide-releasing molecule used for pharamological studies including:
  • Enhancement of coagulation and attenuation of vulnerability to fibrinolysis
  • Investigations of P2X4 as a possible target
  • Possible modification of thrombus growth or disintegration
  • Enhances fibrinogen as a substrate for thrombin
  • Regulation of ion transport by gasotransmitters

Used as a CO donor for reactive oxygen species mediated bacterial killing
Tricarbonyldichlororuthenium(II) dimer can be used in the deuteration reaction for labeling secondary amines. It can also be used for the synthesis of racemization catalysts by reacting with cyclopenta[l]phenanthrenyl and cyclopenta[a]acenaphthylenyl ligands.

Several in vitro investigations have demonstrated that anticoagulant effects of fibrinogenolytic snake venom metalloproteinases have been abrogated in human plasma by modifying fibrinogen with iron (Fe) and carbon monoxide (CO) to prevent catalysis or by directly inhibiting these enzymes with CO.
