This article appears in Volume V01, Page 704 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALLOXANTIN, C8H4N407 .3H2O, a product obtained by the
combination
  of alloxan and dialuric
acid
 , probably possessing the constitution
NHCO
CONH
 
I I I I
CO C( OH)O--CH CO
NHCO JONHone of the three molecules of
water
  being possibly constitutional. It forms small hard prisms which become red on exposure to air containing
ammonia
 , owing to the formation of murexide (ammonium purpurate),C8H4(NH4)N506. It may also be obtained by the action of sulphuretted hydrogen on alloxan. The tetra-methyl derivative, amalic
acid
 , Cs(CH3)4N4O7-, has been prepared by oxidizing
caffeine
  (q.v.) with chlorine
water
 , and forms colour-less crystals which are only slightly soluble in hot water. The formation of murexide is used as a test for the presence of uric acid, which on evaporation with dilute nitric acid gives
alloxantin
 , and by the addition of
ammonia
  to the
residue
  the
purple
  red colour of murexide becomes apparent.
