چکیده

An immunochromatographic assay (ICA) based on the competitive antigen-coated format using colloidal gold as the label was developed for the detection of thiodiglycol sulfoxide (TDGO), an important metabolite and degradation compound of sulphur mustard (SM). The ICA test strip consisted of a membrane with a detection zone, a sample pad and an absorbent pad. The membrane was separately coated with hapten-OVA conjugate (test line) and anti-rabbit mouse IgG (control line). The visual detection limit for TDGO by ICA detection was found to be 10 μg mL(-1). For validation, the ICA results obtained for spiked water samples were in good agreement with those obtained by indirect competitive inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for TDGO. The assay time for detection was less than 10 min. The developed ICA has the potential to be a useful on-site screening tool for the retrospective detection of SM in environmental samples.

Bioreactor strategies for the treatment of growth-inhibitory waste: an analysis of thiodiglycol degradation, the main hydrolysis product of sulfur mustard.

The microbial degradation of thiodiglycol, the primary hydrolysis product of sulfur mustard, by a pure culture of Alcaligenes xylosoxydans ssp. xylosoxydans (SH91) was accomplished in laboratory scale stirred tank reactors. This is a major component of the overall biodegradation process proposed for the complete mineralization of sulfur mustard. Several configurations were evaluated for degrada...

Determination of mustard gas hydrolysis products thiodiglycol and thiodiglycol sulfoxide by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry after trifluoroacetylation.

A method for detecting mustard gas degradation products thiodiglycol (TDG) and thiodiglycol sulfoxide (TDGO) in water and sediment samples using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) after derivatization with 1-(trifluoroacetyl)imidazole (TFAI) was described. Selected reaction monitoring mode (SRM) of tandem mass spectrometry was developed for analysis of TDG and TDGO derivativ...

SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC AND GAS CHROMATOGRAPHIC METHODS FOR DETECTION AND ASSAY OF MUSTARD GAS

A colorimetric method for detection and assay of mustard gas in urine after addition of thymolphthalein is reported. The detection limit was 80 ng/ml of llrine. Mustard gas could also be detected in urine after extraction with gas chromatography using FID detector. The detection limit was 10 ng/ml. In addition, thiodiglycol, a metabolite of mustard gas, could be converted to mustard with ...

The sources, fate, and toxicity of chemical warfare agent degradation products.

We include in this review an assessment of the formation, environmental fate, and mammalian and ecotoxicity of CW agent degradation products relevant to environmental and occupational health. These parent CW agents include several vesicants: sulfur mustards [undistilled sulfur mustard (H), sulfur mustard (HD), and an HD/agent T mixture (HT)]; nitrogen mustards [ethylbis(2-chloroethyl)amine (HN1...

Thiodiglycol, the hydrolysis product of sulfur mustard: analysis of in vitro biotransformation by mammalian alcohol dehydrogenases using nuclear magnetic resonance.

Thiodiglycol (2,2'-bis-hydroxyethylsulfide, TDG), the hydrolysis product of the chemical warfare agent sulfur mustard, has been implicated in the toxicity of sulfur mustard through the inhibition of protein phosphatases in mouse liver cytosol. The absence of any inhibitory activity when TDG was present in assays of pure enzymes, however, led us to investigate the possibility for metabolic activ...
