Heme oxygenase (HO) converts protoheme to biliverdin, which in turn is enzymatically metabolized to bilirubin. 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.[1],[2],[3] Tin protoporphyrin IX (SnPPIX) is a synthetic heme analog that selectively inhibits HO-1 (Ki = 11 nM) over HO-2 (IC50 = 7.5 µM).[4],[5] It also weakly inhibits endothelial nitric oxide synthase and soluble guanylyl cyclase (IC50s = 35 and 30 nM, respectively).[5] SnPPIX prevents hyperbilirubinemia in neonates by blocking HO-1 activity that increases postnatally.[4] It is rapidly cleared from plasma and persists in certain tissues, including kidney, liver, and spleen.[6] SnPPIX is commonly used as a tool to study the role of HO-1 activity in cells and in animals.[7[,[8]
