Syntheses of novel N-confused porphyrins bearing amino and carboxylic acid functional groups

Iron (II) complexes of N-confused tetraphenylporphyrin (NCTPP) have been reported to react with S-nitrosothiols forming an iron nitrosyl complex with the sulfur atom inserted in the Fe-C bond. Hence the possibility of using NCTPP as a probe for S-nitrosylation in proteins has become apparent. Howe...
