Pentacarboxylporphyrin I pentamethyl ester (CAS 885267-26-5)
QUICK LINKS
Pentacarboxylporphyrin I pentamethyl ester is an ester derivative synthesized from Pentacarboxylporphyrin I, a bile product itself generated through the biochemical conversion of Pentacarboxylporphyrinogen I by the enzyme porphyrinogen carboxy-lyase. This compound is pivotal in research focused on porphyrin metabolism and the study of photosensitive systems. Its unique structure, characterized by the esterification of carboxyl groups, makes it an excellent model for investigating the interaction of porphyrins with various substrates and their binding mechanisms. Moreover, the modification enhances its solubility and stability, facilitating its utilization in experimental applications to simulate and study the dynamic processes of natural porphyrin systems, thus offering insights into their functional roles in biological light absorption and energy transfer mechanisms.
