Gallium(III) Protoporphyrin IX: a soluble dimerizable model for malaria pigment / drug interactions

AbstractA gallium (III) protoporphyrin IX model as a heme analog, capable of forming a reciprocal dimer analogous to the malaria pigment hemozoin, is synthesized and characterized. This simple metal substitution yields a molecule which is very soluble and easily handled in air, recommending itself...
