Application Notes

Protoporphyrin disodium is the salt of protoporphyrin, an endogenous metabolite of living organisms. Protoporphyrin is a photosensitizer. Protoporphyrin is a branch point in the biosynthetic pathway leading to haem by insertion of iron and chlorophylls by insertion of Mg and further side-chain transformation. Protoporphyrin and its derivatives are active against human immunodeficiency virus.
