Abstract

Human hemoglobin reacted with bis (3,5-dibromosalicyl) sebacate (XLHb-DEC) forms a stable tetramer and has a plasma half time (PHT) similar to that of other XLHbs, i.e., 3.2 hours. Studies were made to determine if the addition of negative charges to XLHb-DEC would extend its PHT. No increase in PHT was observed but larger urinary excretion of the succinylated species, as compared to XLHb-DEC, suggests that the introduction of negative charges may have led to in vivo instability of the tetramer or the molecule increased the glomerular permeability.
