Sulfoxylate SO 2 H −( SO 22−), a strong reducing agent readily produced by hydrolysis of thiourea dioxide, reacts with ferric myoglobin ( Mb ) to reversibly produce Fe (II)- Mb , starting from either aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Exposure of Fe (II)- Mb to excess sulfoxylate further produces Fe (II)- CO - Mb . Fe (II)- Mb can be regenerated by reoxidation with ferricyanide at this stage; hemin, rubredoxin and cytochrome c show a similar reactivity towards sulfoxylate. The source of CO is not the protein moiety, nor is it the heme or the thiourea dioxide – but rather CO 2, via its reaction with sulfoxylate when the latter is used in large excess. These findings provide a convenient single-step route to carbon monoxide heme adducts, without the need to manipulate toxic CO gas.

Carbonylation reactions with carbon monoxide (CO) provide efficient and attractive routes for the synthesis of bulk and fine chemicals. However, the practice of using a large excess of an inflammable, lethal and greenhouse CO gas is always a concern in this chemistry. The development of CO surrogates has gained substantial interest and become a green alternative to gaseous CO. Many of the recent studies have focused on the development of other benign and safe reagents to work as a CO source in carbonylation reactions, and the assortment of feasible CO surrogates for specific reaction can be accomplished by the literature data. This review describes the recent developments in palladium-catalyzed carbonyl insertions without the direct use of gaseous CO.

The reductive metabolism of carbon tetrachloride (CC14) by human haemoglobin (Hb) was observed in vitro by absolute absorption spectra recorded under anaerobic conditions. The following results were obtained: 1) a decrease of the 430nm peak typical of free reduced Hb (Hb2+); 2) the formation of a shoulder of absorbance, attributable to the production of a complex between Hb2+ and a metabolite of CC14 carbon monoxide (Hb-CO); and 3) the oxidation of some Hb2+ to methaemoglobin (Hb3+). The concentration of these three forms — Hb2+, Hb-CO and Hb3+ — during anaerobic incubation of Hb with CC14 was calculated algebraically from the absolute spectra. CO production was then calculated from the concentration of Hb-CO, using a suitable calibration curve. Interestingly, under identical experimental conditions, a substrate-dependent loss of Hb-derived haem, but not of Hb itself nor of haem-derived porphyrin fluorescence, was measured. Preliminary HPLC studies to clarify the discrepancy and, in particular, the role and fate of the haem group, showed two substrate-dependent modified haem products. The results indicate that human Hb is able to catalyse the reductive activation of CCl4, and suggest that, during the process, its prosthetic group haem may be modified by CC14 metabolites to products which maintain a tetrapyrrolic structure but are unable to react with pyridine.

Tenascin-C (TN-C), an extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein, is specifically induced upon tissue injury and infection and during septic conditions. Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is known to exert various anti-inflammatory effects in various inflammatory diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying the effect of CO on TN-C-mediated inflammation are unknown. In the present study, we found that treatment with LPS significantly enhanced TN-C expression in macrophages. CO gas, or treatment with the CO-donor compound, CORM-2, dramatically reduced LPS-induced expression of TN-C and proinflammatory cytokines while significantly increased the expression of IL-10. Treatment with TN-C siRNA significantly suppressed the effects of LPS on proinflammatory cytokines production. TN-C siRNA did not affect the CORM-2-dependent increase of IL-10 expression. In cells transfected with IL-10 siRNA, CORM-2 had no effect on the LPS-induced expression of TN-C and its downstream cytokines. These data suggest that IL-10 mediates the inhibitory effect of CO on TN-C and the downstream production of proinflammatory cytokines. Additionally, administration of CORM-2 dramatically reduced LPS-induced TN-C and proinflammatory cytokines production while expression of IL-10 was significantly increased. In conclusion, CO regulated IL-10 expression and thus inhibited TN-C-mediated inflammationin vitroandin vivo.
