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