Uroflavin, Maltoflavin and Redox-Potentials of Lyochromes

Abstract

BESIDES hepatoflavin, the isolation of which was described in these columns recently1, two further members of the lyochrome series have been obtained in a highly purified, though not definitely pure and crystalline state: uroflavin from normal human urine* and maltoflavin from malted barley. The process of preparation is very similar to the procedure adopted for the isolation of hepatoflavin.
