Malarial Pigment (hematin) as an Active Factor in the Production of the Blood Picture of Malaria
1. Intravenous injections of alkaline hematin in the rabbit produce an anemia the severity of which is proportional to the amount of hematin injected and the susceptibility of the animal. 2. Hemoglobinemia is an occasional consequence of hematin poisoning. 3. The leucocytes in hematin intoxication are usually increased in number and are always characterized by a high percentage of large mononuc...
متن کاملThe conversion of hematin to bile pigment.
The role of hem&in in hemoglobin and bile pigment metabolism is not clearly defined. Opinion has been divided over the questions of whether or not hematin is a normal degradation product of hemoglobin and whether or not it is converted to bile pigment. Bingold observed that the occurrence of hen&in in the plasma is associated with a variety of pathologic conditions (1). The conditions in which ...
متن کاملThe Relation of Hematin to Pathological Pigment Formation
1. It has been shown that powdered hematin is exceedingly resistant to the metabolic action of tissue cells, and wherever injected it will remain for weeks with but slight and slowly progressing alteration. 2. The changes produced in hematin by tissue cells are identical with those changes resulting from the oxidation of hematin by hydrogen peroxid, forming a series of bodies of decreasing colo...
متن کاملIdentification of b-hematin inhibitors in the MMV Malaria Box
The Malaria Box, assembled by the Medicines for Malaria Venture, is a set of 400 structurally diverse, commercially available compounds with demonstrated activity against blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum. The compounds are a representative subset of the 20,000 in vitro antimalarials identified from the high-throughput screening efforts of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (TN, USA), Novart...
متن کاملTiO2 Pigment Suspension Behaviour upon Adsorption of Polymeric Dispersants
The influence of polymeric dispersants containing different functional groups on TiO2 pigment particle suspension was investigated at pH 6.0 and 9.5, using rheology and particle size data. The dispersants chosen were polyacrylic acid and modified polyacrylamides including homo and copolymers modified with carboxylate and/or hydroxyl groups. The pigment suspension was strongly affected by both p...
