Zinc Protoporphyrin
Based on 69 publication(s) in Google Scholar
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.

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].
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[4][5].
For example, Zinc Protoporphyrin is shown to induce HO-1 expression in hamster fibroblast (HA-1) cells but not in Neuro-2A mouse neuroblastoma cells and primary cultures of rat cortical neurons.
Zinc Protoporphyrin suppresses the induction of HO-1 by statins or lipopolysaccharide.
Zinc Protoporphyrin induces HO-1 expression in human prostate adenocarcinoma PC-3 and breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells.

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly:
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 50% PEG300 50% Saline
Solubility: 1.67 mg/mL (2.67 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
