Description

3,8,13,17-Tetrakis(Carboxymethyl)-5(10-,15 Or 20)-Hydroxy-21H,23H-Porphine-2,7,12,18-Tetrapropanoic Acid is a highly functionalized porphyrin derivative, a key synthetic intermediate in advanced materials and pharmaceutical research. Its complex structure, featuring multiple carboxylic acid and hydroxy groups, makes it a versatile chelating agent and precursor for constructing sophisticated molecular architectures. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of photodynamic therapy, catalysis, and the development of novel sensors and dyes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical building block for synthesizing porphyrin-based drugs, particularly in the development of photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) targeting cancer and other diseases.
• Catalyst Synthesis: Serves as a sophisticated ligand for creating transition metal complexes used in homogeneous catalysis for organic synthesis and polymerization reactions.
• Chemical Sensor Development: Utilized in the fabrication of selective sensors and probes for metal ions and small molecules due to its strong and tunable chelating properties.
• Advanced Material Precursor: A key component in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and other functional porous materials.
• Dye and Pigment Research: Acts as a parent structure for developing novel porphyrin-based dyes with specific optical properties for imaging, solar cells, or display technologies.
• Bioconjugation and Labeling: The carboxylic acid groups enable covalent attachment to biomolecules (proteins, antibodies) for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
