OTHER INFORMATION

Murexide is a member of the barbiturate class of compounds. First reported in the 18th century, it can be formed through the successive treatment of uric acid with nitric acid and then ammonia. Murexide is used as a dye in tissue staining procedures, an indicator in complexometric titrations, and a metallochromic chelator of such free metal ions as calcium, zinc,and nickel.
