Zinc Protoporphyrin
Zinc Protoporphyrin IX is a competitive, orally active inhibitor of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) used to study oxidative stress and cytoprotection in vitro, as it blocks protective agents like phloroglucinol. Its application extends to cancer research, where its anti-proliferative effects are investigated in cellular models.
