Porphyrins as possible preventers of heterocyclic amine carcinogenesis

Our studies have shown that hemin and chlorophyllin can directly interact with heterocyclic amines (HAs) and prevent their mutagenic actions. Hemin and chlorophyllin can trap HAs efficiently, probably by forming face-to-face complexes with them. The trapping was most clearly demonstrated by use of s...
