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.

The production of nitric oxide (NO) by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) plays a major role in maintaining vascular homeostasis. This study elucidated the potential role of carbon monoxide (CO)-releasing molecules (CORMs) in NO production and explored the underlying mechanisms in

The demonstration that carbon monoxide releasing molecules (CORMs) affect experimental systems by the release of carbon monoxide, and not via the interaction of the inactivated CORM, has been an accepted paradigm for decades. However, it has recently been documented that
