Nitrosamines and Aromatic Amines

A new method for the simultaneous determination of hemoglobin adducts from aromatic amines and tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNA) is described. After mild base-catalysed hydrolysis releasing aromatic amines and the TSNA adduct 4-hydroxy-1-(3-pyridyl)-1butanone (HPB), the extraction, cleanup, and concentration are performed by a one-step procedure using C 1 8 cartridges. Determination in the p...

The antibacterial action of some stilbene derivatives.

Early types of antibacterial substances were not specifically antibacterial, but were usually toxic to all living cells, and were of value only in so far as they could be employed without serious damage to the host. The search for more suitable antibacterial agents resulted in the preparation and testing of many substances of widely different constitution, and it was from the empirical yet syst...

The determination of aromatic amidines in plasma and urine.

Certain aromatic amidines have been reported to be useful chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, and babesiasis (1). Pharmacological and clinical studies of these compounds have been handicapped by lack of suitable methods for the determination of aromatic amidines in plasma and urine. Recently Fuller (2) described a method which is based upon a reaction be...
