Tin protoporphyrin IX dichloride (SnPPIX) is a potent Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) inhibitor. Tin protoporphyrin IX dichloride sensitizes pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumors to chemotherapy in mice model[1].
Tin protoporphyrin IX dichloride (20 μM, 50 μM; 24 hours) significantly suppressed the proliferation of Capan-1 and CD18/HPAF cells. In contrast, Tin protoporphyrin IX dichloride has no significant effect on PDAC cells proliferation at all exposures except at 50 μM[1].
Tin protoporphyrin IX dichloride (intraperitoneal injection; 5 mg/kg; at 0, 7, 15, and 20 days) alone or combines with Gemcitabine significantly reduced the weight of pancreatic tumors (P < 0.05), decreases metastasis and improved the efficacy of Gemcitabine treatment[1].
