CO-Releasing Materials: Therapeutic Implications and Challenges towards Drug Discovery

Abstract

Since last century, carbon monoxide (CO) generally regarded as “silent killer” and life-threatening for living organisms because of its colourless, odourless and poisonous nature [1]. Haldane explored the poisonous nature of CO can be exerted as car-boxy hemoglobin (COHb) through hemoglobin dissociation parameters [2,3]. This study explains the biological role of the CO inside the mammalian systems.
