Abstract
THE inhibition of adrenaline oxidation by reducing agents is well known and used for stabilizing adrenaline solutions. A different kind of inhibition was recorded by da Fonseca-Ribeiro and Cardoso1, who observed that adrenaline solutions were stabilized by oxalic acid; they suggested that this effect was due to the formation of complexes between the acid and the copper and other metallic ions necessary to initiate the oxidation.
