How SnPP Protoporphyrin works
SnPP is a competitive inhibitor of heme oxygenase, an enzyme which degrades heme to bilirubin, prevents the development of hyperbilirubinemia, and reduces bilirubin levels in plasma. This compound is also found to directly inactivate DENV and YFV infectious particles and has the potential to have antiviral activity against numerous organisms.
