More Info
Product Data
Biological target:
Hemin is an Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 inducer.
In vitro activity:
The effects in the post-treatment group infected with the virus and then treated with hemin for 2 hpi were monitored to determine whether viral replication was suppressed during the intracellular replication stage after viral entry into the cells. The suppression of viral replication was observed in both groups, indicating that hemin treatment could inhibit the virus at the intracellular replication stage (Fig. 1d). The immunofluorescence assay (IFA) (Fig. 1e) showed that the number of cells containing the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein decreased as the hemin concentration increased at 24 hpi. Reference: Sci Rep. 2021 Nov 2;11(1):21462. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34728736/
In vivo activity:
The hepatic function was evaluated based on the ALT concentration in the plasma of the mice in all of the experimental groups (Figure 7). The TNBS group showed the highest concentration of ALT (30.88 ± 4.64 U/L). The treatment with hemin at both dosages, 5 mg/kg/day and 10 mg/kg/day, promotes a decrease in ALT levels with statistical significance compared to the TNBS group (20.33 ± 3.67 U/L; p < 0.001 and 22.56 ± 3.61 U/L; p < 0.01, respectively).
