Description
Bilirubin is the principal pigment of bile and a constituent of many biliary calculi. It is also found in blood. The compound appears to function as an antioxidant and efficient peroxyl radical scavenger, protecting membrane lipids from oxidation by these radicals. At nanomolar concentrations it has been shown to protect neurons from oxidative damage.
- Bilirubin is produced from Ox-gall, which is sterilized before extraction with high pressure vapor at 120°C
- Then, the bilirubin is extracted in a continuous extraction process with chloroform as a crude product
- Recrystallization and purification is with ethanol and chloroform
