Biological Activity for CORM 3

CORM 3 is a water-soluble carbon monoxide-releasing molecule. Suppresses thrombin-induced nitrite release in BV-2 microglia. Protects isolated rats hearts from reperfusion damage in vitro and is cardioprotective in a rat myocardial infarction model in vivo. Also prolongs survival of transplanted hearts in mice. Exhibits anti-inflammatory and vasorelaxant effects.
