Hemin

Hemin is a Dark purple crystalline powder or elongated needle-shaped crystal. It does not dissolve in water, but it can dissolve in acidic acetone and alkaline water. The molecular formula is C34H32ClFe(III)N4O4, and the molecular weight is 651.96. Hemin is mainly used as raw material for anti-anemia and anti-cancer drugs.

개요Hemin is a metalloporphyrin compound with a relatively simple structure. It is formed by the complexation of a molecule of ferrous iron and protoporphyrin. It is an in vitro group substitute of natural heme and its chemical properties are similar to that of heme. Heme, an essential small molecule in living organisms, can be found abundantly in various organisms including animals, plants, microorganisms, and algae.

용도Hemin is used in cellular protection and control mechanism. It stimulates the synthesis of globulin. It is also used to study the bacterial strains and growth conditions, in the short-term colony assays and cell transfections. Further, it is used to treat the symptoms of various porphyrias. In addition, it is used in the preparation of agar medium for the bacteria culture.

일반 설명Heme is a small molecule present either free or bound to hemoglobin in the bloodstream of mammals. This is an alternative source of iron within the host that contains a porphyrin ring containing a Fe2+ ion called hemin.
