Cobalt protoporphyrin IX
Cobalt protoporphyrin IX (Co-PPIX) is a potent and specific heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) inducer. Cobalt protoporphyrin IX exhibits broad-spectrum antiviral activities against Influenza A virus (IAV).

Biological Activity
Cobalt protoporphyrin IX (2 μM; 0-24 h) increases the intracellular protein levels of HO-1 in a time-dependent manner in MDCK cells and RAW264.7 cells[1].
Cobalt protoporphyrin IX shows antiviral activity against influenza viruses with IC50s of 0.40 ± 0.16, 0.42 ± 0.15, 0.46 ± 0.19, 0.34 ± 0.05 and 0.64 ± 0.30 μM against Empty Cell A/FortMonmouth /1/1947, A/TianjinJinnan /15/2009, A/Wuhan /359/1995, A/FujianTongan /196/2009 and BY/FujianXinluo /54/2006, respectively[1].
Cobalt protoporphyrin IX (0.25-2 μM; 18 or 24 h) inhibits IAV replication through augmenting IFN response, and the anti-IAV activity is not dependent on the catalytic function of HO-1[1].
Anti-IAV activity of HO-1 induced by Cobalt protoporphyrin IX (2 μM; 0-6 h) may depend on IRF3 phosphorylation and translocation, in order to enhance antiviral IFN response[1].

Cell Line:MDCK cells and RAW264.7 cells
-
Concentration:2 μM
-
Incubation Time:0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h
-
Result:Significantly increased the intracellular protein levels of HO-1 in a time-dependent manner in MDCK cells and RAW264.7 cells.
-
Cell Line:RAW264.7 cells were infected with IAV A/Fort Monmouth/1/1947 (0.2 MOI)
-
Concentration:0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 μM
-
Incubation Time:18 h
-
Result:Enhanced mRNA expressions of IFN-α/β, as well as protein expressions of some ISGs, such as IFN-inducible transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3), double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) and 2′-5′-oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (OAS1), in a dose-dependent manner.

Cell Line:RAW264.7 cells or RAW264.7 cells infected with IAV A/Fort Monmouth/1/1947 (0.2 MOI)
-
Concentration:2 μM
-
Incubation Time:0, 2, 4 and 6 h
-
Result:Increased protein levels of IRF3 and p-IRF3. Promoted the cytoplasmic protein levels of IRF3 and p-IRF3 in RAW264.7 cells following the enhancement of HO-1 protein expression after 6 h. Induced nuclear IRF3 and nuclear p-IRF3 accumulation within 6 h of treatment.
