A ferric porphyrin complex that catalytically isomerizes peroxynitrite to nitrate both in vivo and in vitro. Hence, serves as a decomposition catalyst and a selective peroxynitrite scavenger. Does not complex with nitric oxide and exhibits little SOD mimetic activity. Provides cytoprotection against peroxynitrite.
