PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carbonyl compound to deliver CO to a physiological object or target for giving physiological effects. SOLUTION: The present invention provides any of following compounds from (1) to (4): (1) CO released by dissociation of the metal carbonyl is present in the composition in dissolved form; (2) on contact with a solvent the metal carbonyl releases CO; (3) on contact with a tissue, organ or cell, the metal carbonyl releases CO; (4) on irradiation, the metal carbonyl releases CO. As a concrete example, the metal carbonyl is used for releasing CO having physiological activity such as vasodilation and suppression of rejection symptoms after transplantation. As usable metals, Fe, Ru and the like are used. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
