Zinc Protoporphyrin  (Synonyms: Zn(II)-protoporphyrin IX; ZnPP; Zinc Protoporphyrin-9)

Cat. No.: HY-101193 Purity: 99.58%
COA Handling Instructions

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.

Description

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[1]. 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[2]. Zinc Protoporphyrin has anti-cancer activity[3].

IC50 & Target[1][2]

Human Endogenous Metabolite

 

In Vitro

to increase in Protoporphyrin (Zn(II)-protoporphyrin IX; 5 μM; 72 hours) causes the fraction of late apoptotic and necrotic cells increasing from 10.9% in controls to 30.4% after 72 h[3].
? Zinc Protoporphyrin (1.25-40 μM; 48 or 72 hours) exerts cytostatic/cytotoxic effects against tumor cells[3].
? Zinc Protoporphyrin (2.5, 5 μM; 48 or 72 hours) results in dose- and time-dependent reduction of cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle[3].
? Zinc Protoporphyrin (1.25-40 μM; 48 hours) leads to the accumulation of cleaved (active) caspase-3[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
