| | ADRENOCHROME Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Red Crystalline Solid | | Uses | The substance mainly responsible for the red colours produced during the mild oxidation of adrenaline | | Uses | Adrenochrome is a derivative of epinephrine. When complexed with a salicylate, its stability is increased (carbazochrome). It was claimed to reduce blood loss, but the evidence is sparse. | | Definition | ChEBI: Adrenochrome is a member of indoles. | | Purification Methods | It was crystallised from MeOH/formic acid, as red crystals of the hemihydrate, and stored in a vacuum desiccator. The mono-semicarbazone (Carbazochrome) [69-81-8] M 236.2, crystallises as orange-red crystals from dilute EtOH with m ~203o (dec) and is haemostatic.
