Description

Mesoporphyrin IX dimethylester (MPDE) is a redox potential indicator. It is sensitive to the changes in the redox potential of the environment. MPDE is used as an optical sensor for monitoring the redox potential in biological systems. The nitrogen atoms of MPDE are oxidized by metal carbonyls to form a more stable nitrogen-oxygen bond; this process can be monitored by UV-visible spectroscopy. The kinetic data of MPDE indicate that it reacts with chlorophyll a, which can be used as an indicator for photoreactions of photosynthesis.

Mesoporphyrin IX dimethylester has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and inhibitory effects on angiogenesis, which may be due to its ability to block oxygen release from hemoglobin molecules. This molecule has also been shown to have a x-ray diffraction pattern similar to that of chlorophyll a and erythrocin
