  • Preparation of metal mesoporphyrin compounds
    Patent number: 8178664
    Abstract: A method of preparing metal mesoporphyrin halide compounds is described. The metal mesoporphyrin halide compound may be formed by forming a novel mesoporphyrin IX intermediate compound and then converting the mesoporphyrin IX intermediate to the metal mesoporphyrin halide through metal insertion. The novel intermediate compound may be formed by a catalytic hydrogenation of hemin in acid and subsequent recovery.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 9, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 15, 2012
    Assignee: Infacare Pharmaceutical Corporation
    Inventors: Robert Vukovich, Benjamin Levinson, George S. Drummond, Robert Caroselli, Kazimierz G. Antczak, Christopher Boucher, Richard Mortimer, Danny Levin, Keith A. Cooke
