Two analogues of porphobilinogen, the 6-methyl and 6,11-ethano derivatives, have been made by a new synthetic route and the 6-methyl analogue has proved to be the most potent inhibitor of hydroxymethylbilane synthase yet reported (Ki = 3 μM).

Six isomeric aminomethylbilanes have been built by unambiguous synthesis.One bilane has the unrearranged structure corresponding to straightforward head-to-tail assembly of four units of porphobilinogen; the other five bilanes have one or more of the pyrr
