porphyrinogen Biochem.|pɔːfɪˈrɪnədʒən|
[a. G. porphyrinogen (Fischer & Bartholomäus 1913, in Ber. d. Deut. Chem. Ges. XLVI. 512), f. porphyrin porphyrin: see -ogen.]
Any of the colourless, reduced derivatives of porphyrins in which the four pyrrole nuclei are linked by methylene groups, {b1}CH2{b1}.
In quot. 1913 applied spec. to the first such compound to be prepared.
1913Jrnl. Chem. Soc. CIV. i. 409 A colourless, crystalline reduction product, C33H42O4N4, of high molecular weight is obtained. This is termed porphyrinogen in view of its ready conversion into a red product having the spectroscopic properties of porphyrin. 1938Chem. Soc. Ann. Rep. XXXIV. 384 Until this work was carried out, only three crystalline leuco-compounds of porphyrins, or porphyrinogens, were known, and none of these was derived from chlorophyll. 1955Endeavour XIV. 135/1 It is possible that the porphyrins are not on the direct line of biosynthesis but are produced by reversible side reactions from closely related precursors, possibly the more highly reduced porphyrinogens. 1968Passmore & Robson Compan. Med. Stud. I. xxvi. 7/2 Porphyrinogens are similar [to porphyrins] but in these compounds the pyrrole rings are linked by methylene ({b1}CH2{b1}) bridges. |
