Abstract
The synthesis of
18-demethyl-18-formylprotoporphyrin dimethyl ester is described and the role of
this compound as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of haem a is considered. A possible relationship
between a compound of this structure and the prosthetic group of myeloperoxidase
is discussed. The cryptoporphyrin a fraction of ox heart extracts has been
reexamined and shown to consist of a mixture of Spirographis porphyrin and its isomer which presumably arise from
the in vitro oxidation of the vinyl
groups in protoporphyrin.
