Heme oxygenase (HO) converts protoheme to biliverdin, which in turn is enzymatically metabolized to bilirubin (Item No. 17161). While HO-2 is constitutively expressed, HO-1 can be induced by its heme substrate as well as by heavy metals, oxidizing agents, and other environmental stresses.{19790,4647,17438} Tin protoporphyrin IX (SnPPIX) is a synthetic heme analog that selectively inhibits HO-1 (Ki = 11 nM) over HO-2 (IC50 = 7.5 µM).{26672,26673} It also weakly inhibits endothelial nitric oxide synthase and soluble guanylyl cyclase (IC50s = 35 and 30 nM, respectively).{26673} SnPPIX prevents hyperbilirubinemia in neonates by blocking HO-1 activity that increases postnatally.{26672} It is rapidly cleared from plasma and persists in certain tissues, including kidney, liver, and spleen.{26671} SnPPIX is commonly used as a tool to study the role of HO-1 activity in cells and in animals.{26675,26674}

Description

A synthetic heme analog that selectively inhibits HO-1 (Ki = 11 nM) over HO-2 (IC50 = 7.5 µM); weakly inhibits eNOS and soluble guanylyl cyclase (IC50s = 35 and 30 nM, respectively); prevents hyperbilirubinemia in neonates by blocking HO-1 activity that increases postnatally
