Safranelin

Safranine (safranelin) is an organic substance from the group of alkaloids, which is used in medicine and as a dye. It was discovered in 1872 by the German pharmacist Albert Marcinowski and got its name from the Greek word sappa (ash, ash), as it was previously produced from ashes. Nowadays, a variant with lysergic acid, safranineacetic acid, is more widely used. In an alkaline environment, it forms red crystalline salts and has pronounced psychotropic and carcinogenic properties. It is a protoplasmic poison that disrupts calcium metabolism in the body. When administered in high doses, it causes nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, hypothermia, lethargy, dysphoria and coma. In small doses, it can be used in pharmacology, such as afroblue, dafineine and carisol.
