โฆ Synopsis
In the trihydroxyindole (THI) reaction, epinephrine and norepinephrine are oxidized to adrenochrome and noradrenochrome, which are rearranged in alkali to the strongly fluorescent trihydroxyindole derivatives, adrenolutine and noradrenolutine, respectively. The fluorescence of the lutines is then stabilized by the addition of an antioxidant, Ascorbic acid,
