  1. HAI50 is the drug-to-hemin ratio required to inhibit 50% of heme aggregation against a control experiment in the absence of drugs.
  2. aValues in parentheses are the relative activity with respect to CQDP. The IC50 values are the mean of 6 experiments.
  3. dpH ~ 5.
  4. eAfter 24 h reaction.
