Bromine in blood, EEG and transaminases in methyl bromide workers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 33 methyl bromide users, slight electroencephalographic changes (in 10 subjects) and a small increase in serum transaminases were found which could be related to bromine concentration in blood. No relationship was found with subjective symptoms, general neurological examination or the results of serum protein electrophoresis.

Acute effects of methyl bromide on electroencephalographic activity and sleep-wakefulness in rats.
The acute effects of a single subcutaneous (sc) administration of methyl bromide (MB) on electroencephalographic (EEG) activity and on sleep-wakefulness and its circadian rhythms were investigated in rats with indwelling electrodes for EEG, electromyographic (EMG) and electrooculographic (EOG) recordings. The LD50 of MB was found to be 135 mg/kg for the sc administration. Slowing of the EEG fre...

A simple, economical, precise and fast visible spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of Azathioprine in tablet dosage form. Developed method is based on the formation of extractable colored complex of drug with colouring agent Indigo Carmine and Methyl orange. A wavelength maximum was found to be 683.7 nm and 566 nm. The concentration range of 15-50 μg mL-1 with of ...
متن کاملCrystal structure of 2-bromo-3-dimethylamino-N,N,N′,N′,4-pentamethyl-4-(trimethylsilyloxy)pent-2-eneamidinium bromide
The reaction of the ortho-amide 1,1,1-tris-(di-methyl-amino)-4-methyl-4-(tri-methyl-sil-yloxy)pent-2-yne with bromine in benzene, yields the title salt, C15H33BrN3OSi(+)·Br(-). The C-N bond lengths in the amidinium unit are 1.319 (6) and 1.333 (6) Å, indicating double-bond character, pointing towards charge delocalization within the NCN plane. The C-Br bond length of 1.926 (5) Å is characterist...
