Studies on Alkanolamines. II

Selective toxicity of alkanolamines.

The antimicrobial effects of diethanolamine, dimethylamino-methyl-propanol, and butylethanolamine are greatly enhanced at high pH. Their antimicrobial activities are closely correlated with their uncharged forms, indicating that diffusion through cell membrane(s) is rate limiting for the antimicrobial action. Since these compounds are selectively toxic at high pH, they are appropriate antimicro...

A review of analytical methods for the determination of sulfolane and alkanolamines in environmental studies.

Sulfolane and alkanolamines are used extensively in the processing of sour natural gases. Over many years of operation, there have been inadvertent leaks of these chemicals to groundwater and wetlands surrounding gas processing facilities, leading to uptake by vegetation. Because sulfolane and alkanolamines are extremely water-soluble, their analysis has presented challenges, particularly requi...

Tandem Mass Spectrometry of Alkanolamines in Environmental Samples

Alkanolamines are anthropogenic compounds used extensively not only in the processing of sour natural gas but in other operations such as the petrochemical and fossil-fuel fired industries to reduce and prevent the emission of green house gases into the environment. Alkanolamines also find uses as corrosion inhibitors, emulsifying agents and in pharmaceutical formulations (Dobberpuhl and Johnso...

Studies on Echinococcosis : Ii. Echinococcosis in Japan

Further Studies on Bacterial Hypersusceptibility. Ii

When filtered alkaline extracts of pulverized bacteria of several varieties are precipitated with acid in the cold, boiled with acid, and all materials thrown down by these procedures removed, there remains a small amount of an alcohol-precipitable material which no longer gives any of the ordinary chemical reactions for proteins, such as the biuret, Hopkins-Cole, Millon, and sulfosalicylic aci...
