Zinc protoporphyrin-9 (ZnPPIX) is an endogenous metabolite formed during heme biosynthesis under conditions of iron insufficiency or impaired iron utilization.{23553} It also regulates heme catabolism through competitive inhibition of heme oxygenase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the heme degradation pathway that produces bilirubin and carbon monoxide.{23553} ZnPPIX has been shown to inhibit 80% of soluble guanylyl cyclase basal activity at 2.5 μM and to inactivate the NOS isoforms nNOS, iNOS, and eNOS with IC50 values of 0.8, 4, and 5 μM, respectively.{23555,23554} ZnPPIX has been used to assess iron status and to diagnose iron disorders and has shown therapeutic potential in hyperbilirubinemia.{23553}

  • A small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state; activity is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM

    SC-1 – 10 mg

    The maintenance of embryonic stem cells in culture typically requires feeder cells and various exogenous factors found in serum. Murine embryonic stem (mES) cells can be maintained in the absence of feeder cells and serum but require the leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) and bone morphogenic protein (BMP) to prevent differentiation and promote self-renewal. SC-1 is a small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state.{14533} The activity of SC-1 is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM, respectively.{14533} Inhibition of RasGAP increases Ras signaling via the PI3-kinase pathway which promotes self-renewal, whereas inhibition of ERK blocks differentiation.
