Abstrakt: beta-Hematin is an important heme metabolite of malarial infection. Its role as an agent mediating the formation of the reactive electrophile 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) from polyunsaturated fatty acids was investigated. In vitro formation of HNE was found to be facilitated by the presence of hemozoin in a concentration-dependent fashion. The reactivity of HNE derived from reaction with beta-hematin was confirmed through its ability to form protein adducts on myoglobin.
