alembroth

noun ˈaləmbrɒθəˈlɛmbrɒθ

Pharmacology Chemistry historical

A substance produced by the action of ammonia on mercuric chloride, the main component being mercury amide chloride (ClHgNH₂), supposed by some alchemists to be a universal solvent and later used in bandages for its antiseptic properties. Formerly also †"alembroth-salt", †"salt of alembroth".

Origin

Mid 17th century; earliest use found in Elias Ashmole (1617–1692), astrologer and antiquary.
