USE OF CO-RELEASING COMPOUNDS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF A MEDICAMENT FOR THE TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATORY DISEASES

摘要

Several classes of in vivo carbon monoxide-releasing compounds are useful for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases, such as chronic inflammatory, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, and of diseases with a strong inflammatory component, such as atherosclerosis, stroke, coronary disease, and Alzheimers disease. The in vivo carbon monoxide-releasing compounds can be attached to known drug vectors and/or known anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin.
