US Edition6 Hospitalized, San Bernardino County Apartment Complex Partially Evacuated After Carbon Monoxide Exposure
The engineered protein RcoM-HBD-CCC rapidly removes carbon monoxide from blood in under a minute, potentially reducing long-term heart and brain damage, researchers said.
- Scientists at Maryland’s School of Medicine have developed a novel protein-based compound that quickly eliminates carbon monoxide from the bloodstream.
- The molecule, RcoM-HBD-CCC, was created due to the urgent need for more effective treatments beyond current oxygen-based therapies for carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Studies in mice demonstrated that RcoM-HBD-CCC binds carbon monoxide with exceptional specificity and removes it from red blood cells in less than a minute, a clearance rate far exceeding that of traditional oxygen treatments.
- Jason J. Rose explained that this compound has the potential to swiftly and effectively eliminate carbon monoxide from the bloodstream while minimizing the chances of unintended side effects.
- If further studies confirm safety and efficacy, this molecule could enable rapid intravenous treatment in emergencies and reduce long-term brain and heart damage from poisoning.

6 hospitalized, San Bernardino County apartment complex partially evacuated after carbon monoxide exposure
By Dean Fioresi Click here for updates on this story San Bernardino County (KCAL, KCBS) — Six people, including a child, where hospitalized and a Fontana apartment building partially evacuated due to carbon monoxide exposure on Monday, according to San Bernardino County firefighters. It happened in the early morning, when crews were dispatched to the 16500 block of Athol Street after receiving a report of a person who was in cardiac arrest, …
New engineered molecule shows promise as rapid antidote for carbon monoxide poisoning
University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) researchers, along with their colleagues, engineered a new molecule that appears promising as an effective antidote for carbon monoxide poisoning with fewer side effects than other molecules currently being tested, according to a new study published in the journal PNAS.
Novel protein therapy shows promise as first-ever antidote for carbon monoxide poisoning
