چکیده

A bioassay for the possible carcinogenicity of N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride was conducted using Fischer 344 rats and B6C3F1 mice. N-(1-Naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride was administered in the feed, at either of two concentrations, to groups of 50 male and 50 female animals of each species. Twenty-five rats of each sex and 50 mice of each sex were placed on test as controls. The high and low dietary concentrations of N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride administered to rats and male mice were 0.1 and 0.05 percent, respectively. The high and low time-weighted average concentrations administered to female mice were, respectively, 0.3 and 0.2 percent. The compound was administered in the diet for 104 weeks, followed by an observation period of 4 weeks for high dose rats, 3 weeks for low dose rats, low dose female mice, and high dose female mice, and 1 week for high dose male mice. There were no significant positive associations between the concentrations of N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride administered and mortality in rats of either sex or in male mice. There was a significant positive association between concentration and mortality in female mice. In all groups, except for high dose females, adequate numbers of animals survived sufficiently long to be at risk from late-developing tumors. Mean body weight depression, in relation to controls, was apparent for both sexes of rats and mice, indicating that higher concentrations of the test chemical would not have been tolerated by these animals. In rats or mice of either sex, there were no statistically significant positive associations between the concentration of N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride and tumor incidence. Under the conditions of this bioassay, dietary administration of N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride was not carcinogenic in Fischer 344 rats or B6C3F1 mice.

Derivatives of 1-naphthyl ethylenediamine dihydrochloride for standardization of direct-bilirubin assays done with the Technicon "SMAC".

The Jendrassik--Groff assay for direct bilirubin was adapted for analysis rates of 150/h on the Technicon "SMAC" continuous-flow analyzer. This requires development of a standard that is compatible with the other 19 channels on this analyzer. N-1-Naphthyl ethylenediamine dihydrochloride has been used for standardization of direct bilirubin assays, but we found it to be unsuitable because values...

A bioassay of p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride for possible carcinogenicity was conducted using Fischer 344 rats and B6C3F1 mice. p-Phenylenediamine dihydrochloride was administered in the feed, at either of two concentrations, to groups of 50 male and 50 female animals of each species. The high and low concentrations of p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride were, respectively, 1,250 and 625 ppm...

Modified colorimetric method for procainamide in plasma.

We describe a modified colorimetric method for determining procainamide in plasma by use of a diazotization and coupling reaction with N-(1-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine dihydrochloride (Marshall's reagent). The sensitivity of the assay is increased twofold over the originally reported colorimetric method, and the lower limit of detection for the assay of a 1.0-ml plasma sample has been decreased t...

A spectrophotometric method for the direct detection and quantitation of nitric oxide, nitrite, and nitrate in cell culture media.

A method for the spectrophotometric determination of nitric oxide, nitrite, and nitrate in tissue culture media is presented. The method is based on the nitric oxide-mediated nitrosative modification of sulfanilic acid that reacts with N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride forming an orange-colored product absorbing at 496 nm. Nitric oxide levels were determined in culture media from th...

Quantitation of nicorandil in pharmaceutical formulations by spectrophotometry using N-(1-naphthyl) ethylenediamine dihydrochloride as coupling agent.

A validated and sensitive spectrophotometric method is developed for the quantitation of nicorandil in pharmaceutical formulations. The method is based on the reduction of nitroxy ethyl group of nicorandil to carbonyl derivative and nitrite ion by Zn/NH4Cl. The nitrite ion undergoes diazotization with sulphanilamide in presence of HCl followed by coupling with N-(1-naphthyl) ethylenediamine dih...
