Abstract

Carbon monoxide (CO) is attracting increasing attention because of its role as a gasotransmitter with cytoprotective and homeostatic properties. Carbon monoxide releasing molecules (CORMs) are spatially and temporally controlled CO releasers that exhibit superior and more effective pharmaceutical traits than gaseous CO because of their chemistry and structure. Experimental and preclinical research in animal models has shown the therapeutic potential of inhaled CO and CORMs, and the biological effects of CO and CORMs have also been observed in preclinical trials via the genetic modulation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). In this review, we describe the pharmaceutical use of CO and CORMs, methods of detecting CO release, and developments in CORM design and synthesis. Many valuable clinical CORMs formulated using macromolecules and nanomaterials are also described.
