Coproporphyrin

Coproporphyrins are a group of porphyrins in which the phenyl and protol rings are anchored at position 6 (the phenyl ring is at one of the four p-positions). Coproporphins have molecular lengths from 1 to 12 carbon atoms. They accumulate in the soil as a result of bacterial dehydration of uric acid, which allows nitrogen to be fixed in organic form (argine), which can be used by plants and animals for protein synthesis. This article will tell you more about these substances, how they were isolated, the history of their discovery, and their practical significance in modern times. In addition, the article contains information about the dangers associated with the accumulation of coproporphine in the environment and methods for its removal.

**Discovery History** Coproporphine was first discovered in 1923 by William
