  • Title: Growth retardation of calcium oxalate by sodium copper chlorophyllin.
    Author: Desjardins A, Tawashi R.
    Journal: Eur Urol; 1978; 4(4):294-7. PubMed ID: 668744.
    Abstract:
    Earlier reports from our laboratories described the inhibitory effect of Mg++ and pyrophosphate on the dissolution and growth of calcium oxalate. In this report, growth of Ca oxalate in presence of very low concentration of chlorophyllin was followed by the Coulter counter and a multichannel analyser. The effect of chlorophyllin concentration on crystal formation was studied at different levels of supersaturation. A concentration of 0.1 microgram/ml produced a remarkable retardation of the induction period and the growth rate. The findings obtained in this study are discussed in the light of the crystal poisoning theory. Comparison was made between chlorophyllin and other growth inhibitors.
