General description

Protoporphyrin IX zinc(II) (ZnPP) is an anti-oxidant enzyme heme oxygenase-1.

Application

Cellular melanin content in normal human melanocytes treated with ZnPP has been studied. 1 It was used as a standard in a study where the excess formation of ZnPP in iron deficient erythropoiesis was determined by haematofluorometer.
Inhibits soluble guanylate cyclase.

The therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin-based chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is limited by drug resistance. In NSCLC, hyperactivation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) counteracts oxidative stress to promote chemoresistance. Metformin-mediated downregulation of Nrf2 plays a
