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 ?M and to inactivate the NOS isoforms nNOS, iNOS, and eNOS with IC50 values of 0.8, 4, and 5 ?M, respectively.{23555,23554} ZnPPIX has been used to assess iron status and to diagnose iron disorders and has shown therapeutic potential in hyperbilirubinemia.{23553}
