CORM-3 (carbon monoxide (CO) releasing molecule-3) has been used to study its effect on NLRP3 (leucine-rich-repeat-containing receptor, pyrin-domain-containing 3) inflammasome activation via glycolysis in macrophages and also on hyperglycemia-induced IL-1β (interleukin-1 β) production. It has also been used to study its protective function against H2O2-induced apoptosis using primary rabbit lens epithelial cells.
