  • Use of nitric oxide scavengers to modulate inflammation and matrix metalloproteinase activity
    Publication number: 20020193363
    Abstract: The present invention relates to modulating inflammation, or improving hemodynamic function, associated with trauma, such as that caused by surgery, through the administration of metal complexes, such as ruthenium nitric oxide scavengers. Further, the present invention relates to modulating matrix metalloproteinase activity also by administering such metal complexes. Modulation of the trauma or the metalloproteinase activity reduces tissue damage or causes a protective effect against organ damage.
