Incubation of a 0.5% suspension of washed, normal mouse erythrocytes with ferriprotoporphyrin IX (FP) at 37.degree. C and pH 7.4 caused K loss, swelling, increased suceptibility to hypotonic lysis and finally hemolysis. Hemolysis was not inhibited by incubation in the dark, malonyldialdehyde was not produced and various free radical scavengers had no effect on the hemolysis. Only the sulfhydryl compounds, cysteine, dithiothreitol and mercaptoethanol protected erythrocytes from FP. K loss reached 90% within 30 min of exposure to 5 .mu.M FP. This amount of FP caused > 50% hemolysis within 2.5 h. Sucrose (0.1 M) completely prevented hemolysis but had no effect on K loss. Reducing the temperature from 37-25.degree. C greatly retarded hemolysis but had no effect on K loss. FP apparently impairs the erythrocyte''s ability to maintain cation gradients and induces hemolysis by a colloid-osmotic mechanism.
