What is HEMATIN?

Description

Heme, a porphyrin derivative, is the color component of hemoglobin, which is responsible for transporting oxygen in blood. It was isolated by E. Bertin-Sans and J. de Moitessier in 1892. In 2010, M. P. Soares and coauthors reported that?infections can release free heme from hemoglobin, which leads to heme-promoted tissue damage and severe sepsis.

Chemical properties

Dark crystals with metalic luster

The Uses of HEMATIN

Hematin was used in a study to test in vitro activities of the Rx-01 oxazolidinones against hospital and community pathogens.It was also used in a study to test in-vitro bacterial identification using fluorescence spectroscopy with an optical fiber system.
