Zinc Protoporphyrin

Description: Zinc Protoporphyrin (Zn(II)-protoporphyrin IX) is an orally active, competitive inhibitor of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) that markedly attenuates the protective effects of Phloroglucinol (PG) against H2O2 and exhibits anti-cancer activity. Target: Apoptosis, Endogenous Metabolite, Reactive Oxygen Species. Smiles: CC1=C(CCC(O)=O)C2=N\C\1=C/c1c(C=C)c(C)c3\C=C4/N=C(/C=c5/c(C)c(CCC(O)=O)\c(=C\2)n5[Zn]n13)C(C)=C4C=C.
