InChIKey: FUTVBRXUIKZACV-RGGAHWMASA-L
SMILES: OC(CCC1=C(C=C2[N]3=C4C(C)=C2CCC(O)=O)[N-]([Zn+2]35[N]6=C7C=C(C(C=C)=C8C)[N-]5C8=C4)C(C=C6C(C=C)=C7C)=C1C)=O
Biological Activity: Zinc Protoporphyrin (Zn(II)-protoporphyrin IX) is an orally active and competitive heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) inhibitor. Zinc Protoporphyrin regulates expression of HO-1 at the transcriptional level. The effect of Zinc Protoporphyrin on HO-1 expression is controversial. It was shown to induce HO-1 expression in some cells, but suppress it in others. Zinc Protoporphyrin is used as a screening marker of iron deficiency in vivo. Zinc Protoporphyrin has anti-cancer activity[1][2][3][4][5].

Zinc Protoporphyrin (Standard) | 97.80% | Zinc Protoporphyrin (Standard) is the analytical standard of Zinc Protoporphyrin. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Zinc Protoporphyrin (Zn(II)-protoporphyrin IX) is an orally active and competitive heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) inhibitor and markedly attenuates the protective effects of Phloroglucinol (PG) against H2O2. Zinc Protoporphyrin is used as a screening marker of iron deficiency in individual pregnant women and children, but also to assess population iron status in combination with haemoglobin concentration. Zinc Protoporphyrin has anti-cancer activity. | ||||||||||||||||||||
