Medchemexpress LLC Protoporphyrin IX (Standard) | 553-12-8 | 96.1% | 50 MG
Supplier: Medchemexpress LLC HYB1247R50MG
Protoporphyrin IX (Standard) serves as an analytical reference standard for diverse research and analytical applications. It functions as a key intermediate in the heme biosynthetic pathway, acting as both a radiation sensitizer-boosting reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and inducing DNA damage even in hypoxic states-and a photosensitizer, undergoing photobleaching upon light exposure.
- Enhances ROS generation and induces DNA damage.
- Undergoes photobleaching through direct degradation by light irradiation.
- Accumulates in tumor cells after 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) administration.
- Causes selective improvement of basal cell carcinoma when activated by red fluorescence.
- Promising for research into sonodynamic and photodynamic agents for various cancers.
- Used in qualitative, quantitative, and methodological research experiments.
- Ideal for applications in HPLC, GC, and MS.
