Abstract
A hydroxyl radical-generating system, hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase/Fe-EDTA, oxidises uroporphyrinogens to uroporphyrins and to more polar nonporphyrin products. The evidence suggests that the nonporphyrin products have inhibitory activity towards mouse liver uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase which could explain some forms of human and experimental porphyrias.Entities:
