Product Description
Mechanism of action
Carbazochrome (adrenochrome derivative) is a haemostatic compound believed to stabilise capillary endothelium and reduce microvascular bleeding. It suppresses excessive capillary permeability, enhances vascular resistance and modulates local oxidative signalling through redox‑active mechanisms.
Benefits and advantages
Used in microvascular‑bleeding studies, capillary‑permeability modelling, oxidative‑stress pathway research, haemostasis assays and vascular‑endothelium stabilisation analysis.
Side effects and risks
Risks include flushing, headache, mild hypertension, hypersensitivity and rare coagulation disturbances. Handle as a vascular‑active compound.
