+<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica">The Discovery of Kryptopyrrole and its
+Importance in Diagnosis of Biochemical Imbalances in Schizophrenia and
+in Criminal Behavior</font></b><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font></b>
+<p><b><font face="Arial,Helvetica">by Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D.</font></b><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">In this issue (JOM, Vol 10, No 1) Dr. Richard
+T. Kraus describes a notorious serial killer who is serving a 250 year
+sentence for the murder of eleven women. Unfortunately, serial killers
+are not a threatened species. On the contrary, they threaten society more
+and more, and with modern weapons of destruction seem to be even more effective.
+This case report may be the first in which four main factors which determine
+human behaviour are discussed in detail. Dr. Kraus describes “...a matrix
+of genetic, biochemical, neurological and psychological deficits”. I am
+particularly interested because the kryptopyrrole ("kp") which was found
+in this person’s urine was originally discovered in Saskatchewan about
+1960 when I was Director of Psychiatric Research. The main biochemical
+research was completed in Saskatchewan by Dr. D. Irvine,(1) and in New
+Jersey by Dr. C. C. Pfeiffer (1) and his research group of biochemists.</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">This report provides a model of how criminal
+behaviour ought to be explored, with numerous references to the medical
+literature for all of the four variables. I will discuss mainly the biochemical
+findings and provide a brief history of its discovery. The presence of
+kp in urine is a valuable diagnostic aid especially for determining more
+specific treatment. It is most closely related to the schizophrenias but
+cuts across all diagnostic categories. I think it could become an important
+differential diagnostic test. It is simple to do, any competent medical
+laboratory can do it. The laboratory in Victoria has been&nbsp;</font>
+<br><font face="Arial,Helvetica">running them for me since 1976.</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">By 1960 the biochemical unit of the psychiatric
+research program in Saskatchewan was gearing up to investigate any possible
+relationships to the schizophrenias. One of the studies involved examining
+urine for several fractions and comparing the urine of patients and controls.
+We were then treating many alcoholics using psychedelic therapy. D-lysergic
+acid diethylamide (LSD), the hallucinogen, was well studied as a compound
+which could induce a model psychosis or a psychotomimetic experience. It
+occurred to me that inasmuch as LSD produced something very similar (but
+not identical with) schizophrenia, perhaps it might also generate in the
+body of a person (not schizophrenic) the same type of biochemical abnormality
+which we thought was present in the patients. I asked Dr. N. Payza to examine
+the samples of urine obtained from an alcoholic who had been given LSD
+as part of his treatment.&nbsp;</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">The first morning specimen was obtained
+and another one around noon, usually the height of the experience. My idea
+was that if something appeared after LSD which was not present before,
+this might give as a lead. We were fortunate because the first patient
+we tested had a large amount of a substance that was not present in the
+morning specimen. We soon showed that it was not a breakdown product from
+the LSD itself, which meant it was created in the body by the impact of
+the hallucinogenic drug upon one of the biochemical systems. After we had
+improved the assay procedure we began to test patients. One day I took
+into the laboratory 12 specimens of urine. Six were obtained from schizophrenic
+patients, five were obtained from normal subjects and one was a blank.
+The code was kept secret. I asked the biochemical team to analyze these
+samples and to tell me which of the 12 were obtained from the schizophrenic
+patients. They accurately spotted all the schizophrenic samples. I concluded
+that schizophrenic patients, not given LSD, had the same substance in their
+urine as did some alcoholics who had been given LSD, but that it was not
+present in normal controls.</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">We needed large amounts of material for
+our chemical studies. Fortunately for us a chronic schizophrenic woman
+on the ward had huge quantities of this product. For a moment we considered
+calling the compound the Jensen factor. At first we called it the unknown
+substance (US), and later the mauve factor because when developed on the
+paper chromatogram it stained a beautiful mauve. When it was identified
+we called it, more accurately, kryptopyrrole. We named the disease characterized
+by large amounts of mauve factor “malvaria,” but Dr. Pfeiffer later gave
+it the more appropriate term <b>pyrolleuria.</b>&nbsp;</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">I immediately started two lines of investigation:
+(1) by Dr. Payza for short time, and then by Dr. D. Irvine who continued
+the research first at the Research Laboratory at the Saskatchewan Hospital
+in North Battleford, and later at University Hospital in Saskatoon. The
+objective was to determine the structure of the substance and its source.
+(2) To study its clinical correlates, i.e. could it be used to assist in
+diagnosis, could it have therapeutic significance, and could it be used
+to follow patients both to determine if they were improving, and to determine
+if they were getting worse.</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Dr. Irvine showed that it was a pyrrole,
+later identified as kryptopyrrole. We began to cooperate with Dr. C. C.
+Pfeiffer at Princeton, New Jersey. Dr. H. Osmond, my colleague in the earlier
+Saskatchewan research, was then Director of Research for the state. The
+two laboratories did the basic work. Dr. Pfeiffer and his team discovered
+how to measure the amount of this substance in the urine using a fairly
+simple test, and they showed that this substance bound with pyridoxine
+and zinc and when present in large amounts produced a double deficiency
+of this vitamin and the mineral. On the clinical side he described the
+syndrome pyrolleuria, a form of schizophrenia with clearly marked out symptoms
+and signs which could be diagnosed by the present of kp in the urine.</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Several years later we had examined thousands
+of patients at three hospitals for the mauve factor.(2) It was present
+mostly in schizophrenic patients but was also present in one-quarter of
+other non schizophrenic patients including depressions, alcoholics, anxiety
+states, and in children with learning and behavioral disorders. It was
+rarely present in normal subjects, and was present in ten percent of a
+non psychiatric stressed population drawn from the surgical wards of the
+hospital. To my surprise it was found in most cases of lung cancer.(3)
+I found the following relationships:</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><i><font face="Arial,Helvetica">1) Relationship to diagnosis</font></i><font face="Arial,Helvetica">
+- The mauve factor was found in the following categories of patients:</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><i><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Diagnosis; percent with the diagnosis

+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><b>Normal subjects&nbsp;&nbsp;</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

+<br><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Not recovered&nbsp;
+50</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Thus it was clear that although it was
+most closely related to the schizophrenic&nbsp;</font>
+<br><font face="Arial,Helvetica">population, it could not be considered
+a test for schizophrenia. Probably there will never be such a test since
+the clinical diagnosis is subjective and there is wide disagreement among
+clinicians about the diagnosis. I therefore compared the results of testing
+for this compound with the results obtained on the HOD (Hoffer-Osmond Diagnostic)
+test.</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><i>2) Relationship to HOD Test</i>.(4)
+This is a card sort test similar in principle to the MMPI but containing
+entirely different questions. Perceptual symptoms including hallucinations
+and illusions are specifically covered. The HOD test can be described as
+a perceptual test. Patients sorted 145 cards into true and false piles
+and these were recorded and scores obtained. We standardized this test
+on thousands of subjects and have reported the results widely.&nbsp; We
+found that there was a better relationship between the presence of high
+scores in the test and the presence of kp in the urine than there was between
+kp and clinical diagnosis. Schizophrenics had much higher scores than did
+any other group of psychiatric patients, with the exception of patients
+with delirium tremens and normal subjects undergoing the LSD experience.
+In one study in New York, the investigating team found that the admission
+HOD test results were more closely correlated to the final discharge diagnosis
+than they were to the admitting diagnosis, even though none of the clinicians
+were able to see the results of the HOD test.</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><i>3) As an indicator for treatment</i>.
+By 1960 we had completed four double blind controlled prospective studies
+on schizophrenic patients comparing niacin, niacinamide and placebo.(5)
+Based upon these studies and upon open clinical studies going back to 1951,
+I had concluded that schizophrenic patients responded better to any treatment
+when they were given adequate doses of vitamin B3. Forty years later this
+is still my conclusion, as it is of every physician who uses the same treatment.
+The only physicians who disagree are those who have never used the treatment
+and who have even refused to examine earlier studies. There is no patent
+on vitamin B3, and without a patent there is no financial incentive for
+any company to promote this treatment. Since schizophrenic patients, most
+of whom had the factor in their urine, responded better when treated with
+vitamin B3, I concluded that any psychiatric disease, no matter what they
+were diagnosed clinically, might also do better with this vitamin. This
+was confirmed by a large series of open clinical studies. I will not term
+these studies anecdotal, which has become the politically correct term
+for denigrating any studies that are not double blind, since all clinical
+studies depend upon the history or herstory of patients and how they respond,
+i.e. upon anecdotes. The only difference is that in double blind studies
+the anecdotes are collected by physicians or others who are blinded by
+not knowing what treatment is being given. At least this is the theory
+of this type of procedure. In fact, the vast majority of these studies
+are so imperfectly blinded that few clinician or nurses have much difficulty
+deciding whether the patient was on placebo or something more active.&nbsp;</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Worshippers of the double blind remind
+me of the emperor whose nakedness was seen only by a child not yet blinded
+by tradition. This report by Kraus is an excellent example of the type
+of anecdotal history which has contributed so much to medicine.</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">The presence of the mauve factor in urine
+became a valuable indicator to use vitamin B3. Later, when Dr. C. C. Pfeiffer
+showed that kp bound pyridoxine and zinc and described the syndrome pyrolleuria,
+this became another important indicator that vitamin B6 and zinc must be
+used. It is especially valuable for children, who are very difficult to
+diagnose because they vary so much one from the other.&nbsp;</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">4) Response to treatment. Patients who
+responded to treatment invariably became mauve factor or kp factor negative.
+However, there were many patients who no longer excreted this factor but
+who had not recovered. I have not examined whether these patients might
+have responded to longer treatment. In my recent report (6) on chronic
+patients it is evident that many chronic patients need five to seven years
+of treatment. Perhaps some of the negative excretors after having been
+positive might have fallen into this group. Patients who were well and
+were kp free were followed for months or years. If they became positive
+at any time they also became clinically ill within a matter of weeks or
+months.</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Generally, the presence of kp is associated
+with clinical conditions characterized by a high degree of perceptual disorganization.
+These are chiefly the schizophrenic patients, but also includes a substantial
+proportion of other psychiatric diseases also characterized by perceptual
+changes. Unfortunately psychiatrists do not search their patients’ mental
+state adequately and miss many of these changes. They can be readily detected
+using perceptual tests such as the HOD test. (7) In other words, the presence
+of kp correlates strongly with high scores on these perceptual tests. Perhaps
+Dr. Kraus’s detailed report will arouse interest in this test, sadly neglected
+for so many years.</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">In 1960 I examined a seven year old boy
+who had been diagnosed retarded and preparations were being made to send
+him to a special school. His parents were very concerned and asked me whether
+I would examine him. For over a year he had difficulty in school, could
+not read, and avoided going to school as much as he could, often staying
+away from home all day but not at school. His mother, a teacher, had been
+spending a lot of time giving him special instruction without improvement.
+He was also developing behavioral problems at home. I examined him early
+in 1960 and could not locate any particular problem, perhaps because I
+had not had much experience treating children. I then had his urine analyzed
+for mauve factor, kp, and to my surprise found a large amount. I called
+his father, a friend of mine, and said in jest “You are in luck, your son
+has schizophrenia.” He answered, “Why does that make me so lucky?” I then
+told him I was kidding him, and added seriously he was certainly not schizophrenic,
+but since he had the same biochemical factor in his urine we had found
+in schizophrenics, and since they had responded well to vitamin therapy,
+this suggested that his son might respond in a similarly beneficial way.&nbsp;</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">I started him on niacinamide 1,000 milligrams
+after each meal. In the fall his father asked me would I like to know what
+had happened to his son. He then told me that two months after his son
+had started on the vitamin he had begun to read, that he had spent a few
+months reading voraciously and that he was no longer concerned about his
+behaviour. His son was normal and remained well. He took his niacinamide
+regularly until he was about 14. One day he asked his mother why he was
+taking the pills. She brought him to see me and I explained why I thought
+he should remain on the vitamin until at least age 18 at which time he
+could determine how well he could do without it. He is still well, happily
+married with children, and is fully employed in a responsible job.&nbsp;</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
+<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica">This illustrates the use of the kp urine
+test for pyrolleuria, and the use of niacinamide in large doses to treat
+this condition successfully. I did not use vitamin B6 nor zinc in 1960.
+Pyridoxine is essential for the conversion of tryptophan to nicotinamide
+adenine dinucleotide, the vitamin B3 coenzyme. With a deficiency of pyridoxine,
+the synthesis of NAD in the body is reduced. A pyridoxine deficiency will
+produce a form of pellagra not distinguishable clinically from the pellagra
+caused by a deficiency of vitamin B3.</font><font face="Arial,Helvetica"></font>
