Carbon Monoxide Releasing Molecule-3 Enhances Osteogenic Differentiati
7,8 and organ protection from ischemia/reperfusion injury. 9,10 Newly synthesized transition metal carbonyl-compounds, CO release molecules (CORMs), are effective in regulating CO release in vivo and in vitro in appropriate circumstances. 11 These CO releasing molecules can therefore be used as the new carrier to provide exogenous CO. CORM-3 [tricarbonylchloro (glycinato) ruthenium (II)] is completely soluble in water with fast release of CO when dissolved in a physiological solution. By releasing CO, CORMs also induce an anti-inflammatory effect. Our previous study showed that CORM-2 reduced...
