چکیده
Potassium permanganate is a mild antiseptic with astringent properties. It is used in dermatology to treat weeping skin conditions. Potassium permanganate tablets are commonly used in clinical practice. The 400 mg (1:1,000) tablets are diluted in four litres of water to give a dilution of 1:10,000 (0.01%) (British Medical Association and Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, 2003).

متن کاملPotassium permanganate toxicity: A rare case with difficult airway management and hepatic damage
Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is rarely used for suicidal attempt. Its ingestion can lead to local as well as systemic toxicities due to coagulation necrosis and damage, caused by free radicals of permanganate. We recently managed a case of suicidal ingestion of KMnO4 in a lethal dose. She had significant narrowing of upper airway leading to difficult intubation as well as hepatic dysfunction ...

متن کاملDirect Chemiluminescence Determination of Oxymorphone Using Potassium Permanganate and Polyphosphoric Acid
Abstract A simple and sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) method was developed for direct quantification of oxymorphone, a µ opioid agonist that is approximately 10 times more potent than morphine. In this method potassium permanganate in polyphosphoric acid was used as CL reagent. Using this method, oxymorphone can be determined over the concentration ranges 13.5-337.8 ng mL-1 and 0.34-6.76...

Melanin may interfere with immunohistochemical staining. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) bleaching, potassium permanganate bleaching, and potassium dichromate bleaching on melanin, tissue antigen, and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) using melanin-containing and melanin-free tissue samples. Our results demonstrated that all 3 bleaching method...
