Hemin chloride, a heme oxygenase-1 inducer, is a porphyrin complex that is derived from erythrocytes. At a concentration of 20 mM, Hemin chloride demonstrated the significance of heme in myotube maturation by increasing size, number, cross-striations, and contraction frequency and strength of myotubes. Hemin chloride has been observed to induce cGMP formation through induction of guanylate cyclase. In rats, Hemin chloride has been noted to stimulate calcium dependent K+ channels along with control of fluid transport and Na+ in the loop of henle. Hemin chloride has also been documented to give rise to active chloride secretion in Caco-2 cells. In cadmium injured rat testes Hemin chloride demonstrated anti-apoptotic, anti-inflamatory and antioxidant properties. Through reactive oxygen species of ERK-1/2-Elk-1 and NF-kappa Hemin chloride may act to upregulate Egr-1 expression in vascular smooth muscle cells. Hemin chloride has also been used in solution to prepare certain types of Agar medium for the cultivation of distinct bacteria.
