heme

Ferroheme (protoheme) is the color-furnishing portion of hemoglobin. It is found free in tissues and as the prosthetic group in many hemeproteins. A Ferroheme or haem is a prosthetic group that consists of an iron atom contained in the center of a large heterocyclic organic ring called a porphyrin.

Hemin (Hemin chloride) is a chlorinated iron-containing porphyrin, a heme oxygenase (HO)-1 inducer. Hemin has therapeutic activity in porphyrias by reducing heme deficiency in patients, thereby inhibiting δ-aminolevulinic acid synthetase activity through biochemical feedback.

Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (Phenylethyl Caffeate) (CAPE) inhibits the activation of nuclear transcription factor NF-kappa B and may suppress p70S6K and Akt-driven signaling pathways, with antineoplastic, cytoprotective and immunomodulating activities. CAPE is the phenethyl alcohol ester of caffeic acid and a bioactive component of honeybee hive propolis. In addition, CAPE inhibits PDGF-induced proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells through the activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha and subsequent induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1).

Quinine sulfate dihydrate plays a major role in potassium channel blockers. It is also used as an antimalarial, anticholinergic, antihypertensive and a hypoglycemic agent. It inhibits mitochondrial ATP-regulated potassium channel. It is also used to study the metabolism of biocrystalized heme, hemozoin, in malarial parasites and to study the toxicity of heme (FP)-complexes.

Protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) is a tetrapyrrole that is a metabolic precursor of heme, cytochrome c, and chlorophyll. Protoporphyrin IX has been shown to improve liver function, promote cellular tissue respiration, improve protein and glucose metabolism, and resist complement binding.

Hematoporphyrin is a substrate for affinity chromatography of heme-binding proteins.

Bardoxolone (CDDO) is a synthetic oleanane triterpenoid that blocks the cellular synthesis of inducible nitric oxide synthase and inducible COX-2 in INF-γ-activated mouse macrophages with an IC50 value of 0.4 nM. By suppressing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS RNS) formation, it promotes the cellular control of ROS RNS levels that would lead to DNA damage associated with tumorigenesis. In various Y cell lines, Bardoxolone has been shown to specifically inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis. Mechanism studies revealed that Bardoxolone is a ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, and also that it induces genes regulated by Nrf2, including heme oxygenase-1 and eotaxin-1, which play a role in antioxidant response element signaling activity.

Carnosol is an Nrf2 activator, increasing Nrf2 levels and promoting heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) expression. It is a ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK2) inhibitor and can be used in gastric cancer-related research with an IC50 value of approximately 5.5 μM.

5-Aminolevulinic acid is an intermediate in heme synthesis which is the first compound in the porphyrin synthesis pathway.It is a photosensitizing agent, an antineoplastic agent and a prodrug.It can also be used (in the form of the hydrochloride salt)in combination with blue light illumination for the treatment of minimally to moderately thick actinic keratosis of the face or scalp.

Biliverdin hydrochloride is a tetrapyrrole water-soluble compound formed from the oxidation of heme, with potential antioxidant activity, involved in the biliverdin-bilirubin redox system.

Succinyl-Coenzyme A sodium salt(Succinyl-CoA sodium salt) participates in the citric acid cycle, where it is converted to succinic acid.Succinyl-Coenzyme A (sodium salt) is involved in a variety of metabolic reactions in living organisms, and plays an important role in the body.Succinyl-Coenzyme A (sodium salt) is involved in heme synthesis. Succinyl-Coenzyme A (sodium salt) is involved in the synthesis of hemoglobin and is used in the study of metabolic, neurological, and hematological disorders caused by nutritional vitamin B12 deficiency, which results in a deficiency in Succinyl-Coenzyme A synthesis.

gamma-Linolenic acid (gamolenic acid), is an unsaturated fatty acid synthesized from linoleic acid (LA) by the enzyme delta-6-desaturase. Research on hepatocellular cell lines has shown γ-Linolenic Acid to have induced reactive oxygen species generation including lipid peroxidation, cell growth inhibition, and heme oxygenase-1 production for antioxidant protection against oxidative stress. Further experiments have noted that γ-Linolenic acid inhibits inflammatory responses through inactivation of NFκB and activator protein-1 by suppressed oxidative stress.

Terretonin, a fungal terpenoid isolated from Aspergillus terreus, undergoes a biosynthetic pathway involving multiple enzymes. Cytochrome P450 Trt6 catalyzes the oxidation of terrenoid to form an unstable intermediate. This intermediate is subsequently catalyzed by isomerase Trt14 and processed by non-heme iron-dependent dioxygenase Trt7, completing the biosynthesis of terretonin [1].
