Carbon monoxide (CO) is well known for its toxicity in large doses. CO has a high affinity for both myoglobin and hemoglobin and will bind to the heme group of both of these proteins. This binding will reduce the amount of oxygen available to the organism which can ultimately lead to symptoms such as fatigue and headaches [1]. Because of its toxicity, CO was once thought to have no function in living organisms, but upon detailed study, it was found that CO is produced within humans as a byproduct of heme breakdown by heme oxygenase (HO)[2]. Heme oxygenase exists in the forms HO-2, HO-3, and HO-1. The HO-1 form, an inducible form, is very important when it comes to injury and stress. In the absence of HO-1, the concentrations of CO are much lower than normal, and this can result in important enzymes not being up-regulated. The negative side effects to this include blood clotting, slow healing, and poor resistance to infection [3].Another important characteristic of carbon monoxide is that it can exhibit proapoptotic effects in some dysregulated hyperproliferative cells such as cancer cells [4]. Carbon monoxide has been shown to be useful as an anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and cytoprotective agent [5]. Once it was observed that CO could perform these important functions, scientists went in search of molecules that contained CO, the release of which would produce these effects. These searches led to the development of carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORMs)[6],[7],[8],[9]. The research done in this field has shown that metal carbonyls have great potential to be CO-releasing molecules. Ruthenium and manganese are among the metals that have the ability to serve multiple biological functions [10],[11],[12], which makes them prime templates for CORMs. These CORMs can release the gas differently and/or react differently depending on several factors; one factor is irradiation by light of different wavelengths. Complexes that are susceptible to photoemission of CO are generally referred to as photoCORMs. However, there are other mechanisms for CO emission from compounds [6],[13],[14],[15].
