Despite carbon monoxide being regarded as the ”silent killer”, it is now established that this molecule has beneficial effects for a number of conditions and pathologies, including inflammation, organ transplant rejection, bacterial infection, acute liver failure and as an aid in cancer therapies. This project proposes to explore the photochemistry of rhenium-containing species to discover more efficient carbon monoxide delivery agents. By combining synthetic chemistry, photochemistry and cellular biology it is anticipated that this multidisciplinary research programme will advance the area of carbon monoxide therapies by preparing safer agents for the targeted and controlled delivery of carbon monoxide.

尽管一氧化碳被认为是“沉默的杀手”，但现在已经确定这种分子对许多病症和病理学具有有益作用，包括炎症、器官移植排斥、细菌感染、急性肝功能衰竭以及作为癌症治疗的辅助手段。该项目旨在探索含铯物种的光化学，以发现更有效的一氧化碳输送剂。通过结合合成化学，光化学和细胞生物学，预计这一多学科研究计划将通过制备更安全的一氧化碳靶向和控制输送剂来推进一氧化碳治疗领域。
