Accelerating effect of ascorbic acid on N-nitrosamine formation and nitrosation by oxyhyponitrite.

چکیده
The reaction of nitrite ion with ascorbic acid and its effect on the rate of nitrosation of secondary amines have been investigated by differential pulse polarography in aqueous acidic solution. Ascorbic acid shows nonuniform behavior: it accelerates the nitrosation of N-methylaniline between pH 1.00 and 1.95, allows the nitrosation of diphenylamine and iminodiacetonitrile, but inhibits the nitrosation of secondary amines, such as dimethylamine, diethylamine, proline, hydroxyproline, N-methylaminoacetonitrile, N-methylaminopropionitrile, and sarcosine. The nitrosating agent generated by the reaction between ascorbic acid and nitrite ion appears to be oxyhyponitrite ion (N2O3-2).

Fat transforms ascorbic acid from inhibiting to promoting acid-catalysed N-nitrosation.
BACKGROUND The major potential site of acid nitrosation is the proximal stomach, an anatomical site prone to a rising incidence of metaplasia and adenocarcinoma. Nitrite, a pre-carcinogen present in saliva, can be converted to nitrosating species and N-nitroso compounds by acidification at low gastric pH in the presence of thiocyanate. AIMS To assess the effect of lipid and ascorbic acid on t...
متن کاملExperimental evidence for inhibition of N-nitroso compound formation as a factor in the negative correlation between vitamin C consumption and the incidence of certain cancers.
Ascorbic acid (ASC) consumption is negatively correlated with the incidence of certain cancers. This is a review and update of the theory, which has recently been neglected, that this negative correlation is due to ASC inhibition of in vivo nitrosation. The review covers the older literature on ASC inhibition of carcinogenesis by nitrite administered with amines or amides and more recent studie...
متن کاملA Review of Aspects of Oxidative Hair Dye Chemistry with Special Reference to N-Nitrosamine Formation
This review discusses a new aspect to the safety profile of oxidative hair dyes using data already in the public domain. These dyes contain secondary amines that are capable of forming potentially carcinogenic nitrosamine derivatives when exposed to atmospheric pollution. Numerous scientific articles confirm the existence of secondary amines in hair dyes (and their intermediates), the possibili...
متن کاملComputational analysis of Nitrosamine Formation during Amine- Based CO2 Capture process with different Groups of Nitrosating Agents (NO-X)
In an amine-based CO2 capture from a coal-fired power plant, nitrosamines can be generated as a result of the reaction between impurities such as NOx (an example of a nitrosating agent) in the flue gas with amine solutions in the absorption column. There is the potential that the nitrosamines can be emitted to the atmosphere if adequate control measures are not put in place. As is well known, a...
