Acute poisoning caused by ingestion of ethylene chlorohydrin.
It is thought of interest to. report a fatal case of poisoning caused by the ingestion of ethylene chlorohydrin. Cases of poisoning by this substance through the gastro-intestinal tract have not previously been recorded except for two deaths from drinking a solvent mixture containing 25% of ethylene chlorohydrin (Guithert, 1944). Ethylene chlorohydrin (glycol chlorohydrin, chloroethyl alcohol),...
متن کاملPolyethylene glycol embedded tribromide as an efficient and reusable catalyst for the library synthesis of nitrogen containing heterocycles
Potassium tribromide wrapped around polyethylene glycol ({K+PEG400}Br3-) was easily prepared by two step reaction of PEG400 with KBr followed by the addition of molecular bromine to give PEG embedded potassium tribromide as a dark viscous oil. The synthesized material was found to be an efficient, cost effective, environmentally benign and recyclable catalyst for the library synthesis of nitrog...
متن کاملHuman plasma derived drugs separation by fractionation of plasma with polyethylene glycol
Background: There are varieties of purification techniques for separation of human plasma proteins such as salting out, ion exchange chromatography, and ethanol fractionation. There are limitations for each method, for example in salting out method, the salt has to be removed in an additional step. Ion exchange chromatography is difficult for scaling up, and plasma fractionation is a time consu...

متن کاملSevere Poisoning After Accidental Pediatric Ingestion of Glycol Ethers
Human glycol ether poisonings are sparsely reported in the medical literature. We describe a healthy 22-month-old boy who accidentally drank up to 330 mL of brake fluid containing a 75% bleed of various glycol ethers (5%–50% polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether, 15%– 40% triethylene glycol monoethyl ether, 1%–30% triethylene glycol monomethyl ether, 1%–25% triethylene glycol monobutyl ether, 1%...
