"In our original proposal it was pointed out that we had obtained, b the successive treatment of adrenochrome with mineral acid and thiosemicarbazide, a black material which proved to be effective in preventing vascular damage cause by snake venom, radiation and thermal burns. Since the effectiveness of this preparation varied widely with different samples it was suspected that the product did not have a uniform composition. As a results of the inability of effect a separation or purification of the black product we decided to try some pure compounds related to adrenochrome. Some results obtained were reported in our proposal …
