Cobaltic protoporphyrin IX is a metalloporphyrin and an inducer of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) activity.{60523} Unlike other metalloporphyrins, cobaltic protoporphyrin IX induces activity of HO-1, the rate-limiting enzyme in heme catabolism, in vitro and in vivo.{60523,60524} It also reduces the activity of ?-aminolevulinate synthase, the enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step of heme biosynthesis, as well as decreases the activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP), in rat liver microsomes ex vivo when administered at a dose of 125 µmol/kg.{60524} Cobaltic protoporphyrin IX (5 mg/kg) prevents liver injury and increases in the percentage of hepatic apoptotic cells in a mouse model of liver ischemia-reperfusion injury.{60525} It increases survival and decreases the number of lung colony forming units (CFUs) in mice infected with Y. pestis at the same dose.{60526} Cobaltic protoporphyrin IX has also been used as a catalyst for the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide in carbon electrodes.{60527}
