A prodrug strategy for the release of the gasotransmitter CO at physiological pH, based upon 3<i>a</i>-bromo-norborn-2-en-7-one Diels-Alder cycloadducts of 2-bromomaleimides and 2,5-dimethyl-3,4-diphenylcyclopentadienone has been developed. Examples possessing protonated amine and diamine groups showed good water solubility and thermal stability. Half-lives for CO-release in TRIS-sucrose buffer at pH 7.4 ranged from 19 to 75 min at 37 °C and 31 to 32 h at 4 °C. Bioavailability in rats was demons ...[more]
