  • Freeze-drying of hemoglobin-polymer compounds for reconstitution.

    • Main Results:

    • Diacid treatment increased the P50 of hemoglobin, indicating enhanced oxygen release.
    • Polymer complexation significantly lengthened the circulatory retention times.
    • Reconstitution of freeze-dried hemoglobin-polymer compounds was successful with physiological saline.

    Conclusions:

    • Diacid-mediated stabilization effectively enhances hemoglobin oxygen release.
    • Polymer complexation provides a viable strategy for prolonging hemoglobin circulation.
    • This cost-effective method offers a promising alternative to pyridoxal phosphate for hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers.
