    Abstract:
    Increasing the size of hemoglobin (Hb) by polymerization offers the benefits of reduced renal clearance and increased duration in the vascular circulation. With this goal, diaspirin cross-linked hemoglobin (DCLHb) was modified in order to keep one thiol group on the surface and then polymerized with 1,6-bismaleimic-hexane (1,6-BMH) to increase the molecular weight. The HPLC results indicated that approximate 20% dimers to tetramers of DCLHb desired were achieved after the polymerization. It was also demonstrated that the oxygen-carrying capacity of the products was similar to natural heme. The present study is expected to improve the efficacy of the DCLHb as an oxygen therapeutic agent.
