Abstract
The present invention generally relates to carbon monoxide releasing compounds and compositions, and their use as carbon monoxide prodrugs. The compounds disclosed herein contain a cyclopentadienone moiety, a non-reactive dienophile, and an enzyme-cleavable tethering moiety connecting the cyclopentadienone moiety to the non-reactive dienophile. Cleavage of the enzyme-cleavable tethering moiety results in conversion of the non-reactive dienophile to a reactive dienophile.
