‘Carbon-Monoxide-Releasing Molecule-2 (CORM-2)’ Is a Misnomer: Ruthenium Toxicity, Not CO Release, Accounts for Its Antimicrobial Effects

Carbon monoxide (CO)-releasing molecules (CORMs) are used to deliver CO, a biological ‘gasotransmitter’, in biological chemistry and biomedicine. CORMs kill bacteria in culture and in animal models, but are reportedly benign towards mammalian cells. CORM-2 (tricarbonyldichlororuthenium(II) dimer, Ru...
