Abstract:
Microporous membranes have been developed which can remove endotoxins selectively from electrolyte and albumin solutions by regioselective adsorption in the membrane matrix and outside surface of the membrane. The membranes were prepared in the form of hollow fibre membranes in a continuous process. By varying the membrane preparation parameters, different pore sizes and adsorption capacities could be realized, thus broadening applications for biological purification. Dynamic adsorption capacities for endotoxin from albumin and saline solution were determined and were found to be in the range of 0.2 and 0.1 microg endotoxin/g membrane, respectively, suggesting different adsorption mechanisms.

Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
