Biliverdin (dihydrochloride)
Biliverdin dihydrochloride, a tetrapyrrolic pigment, is a product of heme catabolism. Heme is broken down into Biliverdin dihydrochloride and carbon monoxide and iron by heme oxidase. Biliverdin dihydrochloride is then quickly broken down to bilirubin by Biliverdin hydrochloride reductase. Biliverdin hydrochloride is anti-mutagenic, an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunosuppressant[1].
