Mesoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester is a useful reagent for metalation and hydrogenation reactions. Mesoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester (MPDE) is a naturally occurring pigment derived from mesoporphyrin IX, a porphyrin found in the human body and certain plants. Porphyrins play vital roles in biological processes like photosynthesis, respiration, and metabolism. Moreover, Mesoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester acts as a fluorescent dye for protein detection and functions as a fluorescent probe for identifying reactive oxygen species. Additionally, it serves as a fluorescent marker for detecting viruses.
