CORM-401 contains manganese (Mn) as a metal center, CORM-401 can release CO[1].
When 20 µM CORM-401 was added to a PBS solution containing 100 µM Mb, the formation of MbCO can be detected. By calculating the concentration of MbCO over time and by performing curve fitting, it was established that the half-lives of CO release were 14.1, 13.4 and 11.9 min for 5, 10 and 20 µM CORM-401, respectively. The amount of CO released from the compound diminishes as the ratio of CORM-401/Mb increases[2].
After exposure to 20 µM CORM-401 loaded EA.hy926 endothelial cells displayed increased levels of intracellular CO[2]. Upon CORM-401 exposure EROD activity of recombinant Cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenases (CYP) decreased concentration dependently. Treatment with CORM-401 decreased EROD activity in HepG2 cells at concentrations higher than 50 µM CORM-401 [4]. CORM-401 partially reduced TNF-α/CHX-induced total cellular ROS,and reduced the effect of antimycin-A[5]. CORM-401 (10-100µM) induced a persistent increase in the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) that was accompanied by inhibition of glycolysis (extracellular acidification rate, ECAR) and a decrease in ATP-turnover. Furthermore, CORM-401 increased proton leak, diminished mitochondrial reserve capacity and enhanced non-mitochondrial respiration[6]. CORM-401 caused an apparent suppression of NO production through inhibition of iNOS at both the mRNA and protein levels in RAW264.7 cells stimulated with P. intermedia LPS. CORM-401 upregulated the expression of both the HO-1 gene and its protein in LPS-activated cells, and treatment with the HO-1 inhibitor significantly reversed the attenuating influence of CORM-401 against LPS-induced generation of NO[7].
Oral administration of CORM-401 reduces body weight gain and improves insulin resistance in HFD-induced obesity in mice.The transient uncoupling activity of CO elicited by repetitive administration of CORM-401 is associated with lower weight gain and increased insulin sensitivity during HFD[3].

Quantification of CO release using a myoglobin assay [1]: | |
Preparation method | 1 mL horse heart myoglobin solution prepared in phosphate buffered saline at the desired final concentration was transferred to a cuvette and converted to deoxymyoglobin (deoxyMb) by addition of granular sodium dithionite. A deoxyMb spectrum (500 600 nm) was recorded and then a 2-fold excess of CORM-3 was added to the cuvette to obtain a maximum carbonmonoxy-myoglobin (MbCO) spectrum (saturated MbCO). In a separate cuvette, the release of CO from CORM-401 was then measured by adding the compound to the deoxyMb solution overlaid with olive oil to prevent loss of CO or diffusion of atmospheric oxygen back into the solution. Samples were scanned immediately after addition of the compounds and at consecutive time-points to monitor the formation of MbCO. Experiments were conducted either by: (1) using CORM-401 at a final concentration of 10 μM and varying the concentration of myoglobin (25, 50 and 100 μM) or (2) testing the release of CORM-401 at 5, 10 or 20 μM after addition to a fixed concentration of myoglobin (100 μM). |
Applications | CO released by CORM-401 increases with the amount of Mb used in the assay. |

The intracellular fluorescence, indicative of CO accumulation in cells, was quantified using a CyAn ADP LX7 Analyzer. |
