CORM-A1

CORM-A1

• CAS Number: 17363-08-5
• UNSPSC Description: CORM-A1 (Sodium boranocarbonate) is a water-soluble carbon monoxide (CO) releasing molecule that facilitates the investigation of CO's impact on cellular systems. As CO is generated from heme degradation by the enzyme heme oxygenase, it serves as a crucial gaseous signaling mediator in mammalian cells. CORM-A1 not only exhibits anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties but also regulates CO release in a manner dependent on pH and temperature, promoting mild vasorelaxation and hypotension. Furthermore, CORM-A1 has been shown to provide cytoprotection in primary cultures of astrocytes under oxidative stress while also enhancing autophagy due to its boron-containing composition.
