Protoporphyrin is a derivative of porphyrin. The key difference between porphyrin and protoporphyrin is that porphyrin is a group of aromatic chemicals which has four modified pyrrole subunits interconnected to each other, whereas protoporphyrin is a derivative of porphyrin which has propionic acid groups.
Protoporphyrine contains porphine as core which is the simplest of the porphyrin chain. Picture from Wikipedia:
