Product Information

• Name: Sn(IV) mesoporphyrin IX dichloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Sn(IV) mesoporphyrin IX dichloride is a synthetic porphyrin derivative, which is a metalloporphyrin complex formed by the incorporation of tin into the porphyrin structure. This compound originates from the modification of mesoporphyrin IX, a naturally occurring tetrapyrrole, and is further functionalized with chloride ligands. The mode of action of Sn(IV) mesoporphyrin IX dichloride primarily involves the inhibition of heme oxygenase, an enzyme responsible for the catabolism of heme into biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and free iron. This inhibition results in the modulation of heme metabolism, which can have broad implications in various physiological and pathological processes.
