What is Fluorometric Measurement of Tin-protoporphyrin in Biological Samples about?
Sn-protoporphyrin is a potent competitive inhibitor of heme oxygenase, can suppress neonatal and other forms of hyperbilirubinemia in laboratory animals, and represents a potential new approach to the treatment of neonatal jaundice in humans. In order to study the disposition of Sn-protoporphyrin in vivo we have developed a sensitive fluorometric method for the quantitation of this metalloporphyrin in biological samples. The method is sensitive to concentrations as low as 0.01 nmol/ml, and is specific for Sn-protoporphyrin even in the presence of other porphyrins such as protoporphyrin. ## MATERIALS AND METHODS ## Sn4+-protoporphyrin IX and protoporphyrin IX were purchased from Porphyrin This study was supported by ES01055 Dyson Foundation and the Ogden Corporation.
