The Nitrosation of Hexamine

Intravenous Hexamine in Mumps

Aromatic C-nitrosation of a bioactive molecule. Nitrosation of minoxidil.

Minoxidil (2,4-diamino-6-(piperidin-1'-yl)pyrimidine N(3)-oxide; CASRN 38304-91-5) is a bioactive molecule with several nitrosatable groups widely used as an antihypertensive and antialopecia agent. Here the nitrosation of minoxidil was investigated. The conclusions drawn are as follows: (i) In the pH = 2.3-5.0 range, the minoxidil molecule undergoes aromatic C-nitrosation by nitrite. The domin...

S-nitrosation of proteins

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key factor in inflammation as it regulates microvascular permeability, leukocyte adhesion and wound healing. This mini-review addresses mainly spatial and temporal requirements of NO regulatory mechanisms, with special emphasis on S-nitrosation. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-derived NO induces S-nitrosation of p120 and β-catenin, particularly in response to pla...

Nitrosation of dietary precursors.

The diet contains a large number of constituents which can be nitrosated in the gastrointestinal tract (especially in the stomach) to potentially carcinogenic nitroso compounds (NOC). The nitrosation of food mixtures has been investigated with a number of assays, such as chemical analysis or detection of alkylating potential, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. Relatively good information is avai...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
