Aflatoxin B, and benzo(a)pyrene were activated by both cultured human bronchus and human colon as measured by binding to cellular DNA and protein. The binding of aflatoxin B, to DNA was dose dependent, and the level of binding was higher in cultured human bronchus than it was in the colon. When compared to aflatoxin B,, the binding level of benzo(a)pyrene to both bronchial and colonic DNA was g...

A highly purified and reconstituted hepatic microsomal monooxygenase system, completely free of epoxide hydrase and consisting of cytochrome P-448 from 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, phosphatidylcholine, and NADPH, metabolizes benzo (a)pyrene to products highly mutagenic in strains TA 98 and TA 1538 of Salmonella typhimurium. The formation of mutagenic metaboli...

Analytical equations were derived for the extraction of univalent metal salts (MA) by crown ethers (L) into polar diluents. Then, NaMnO4 was extracted at 25 C by benzo-15-crown-5 and -18-crown-6 ethers (B15C5 and B18C6) from a water (w)-phase into a 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE)-one. So, the extraction constants of Kex1 and Kex2 were determined, where Kex1 = [NaLMnO4]DCE/[Na][L]DCE[MnO4] and Kex2 =...

The two new ozonide compounds K([12]crown-4)2O3 · 1.5 NH3 (1) and Rb([12]crown-4)2O3 · 1.5 NH3 (2) were synthesized from the binary alkali metal ozonides and [12]crown-4 in liquid ammonia. The airand temperature-sensitive red, needle-shaped compounds crystallize isostructurally in the non-centrosymmetric space group Fdd2 (no. 43) with 16 formula units per unit cell. The lattice parameters are a...

Cohesive energy densities (C(w,MLA)/J cm(-3)) for ion-pair complexes (MLA: M(+) = Li(+) to Cs+; w: water) with six crown ethers (L), such as 18-crown-6 ether (18C6), benzo-18C6, and dibenzo-24-crown-8 one, and A(-) = picrate were calculated at 298 K by a procedure that uses either (i) an equation rearranged from that underlying log K(D,MLA)-vs.-log K(D,L) plots or (ii) intercepts of their plots...

The new compound [K–(12C4)2]2[K–12C4]2[Sn9]·4en (1), where 12C4 is 12-crown-4 polyether, was crystallized from an ethylenediamine solution of an intermetallic precursor with nominal composition K4Li2Sn8. The structure of the compound (orthorhombic, Cmca, a = 21.763(4), b = 16.030(3), c = 51.85(1) Å, Z = 8) contains isolated deltahedral clusters of [Sn9]4−. The clusters are of Cs symmetry and ar...

In the title compound, C17H15NO2S, the thia-zepine ring adopts a slightly distorted twist-boat conformation. The dihedral angle between the mean plane of the benzo-thia-zepin ring system and the benzene ring is 65.7 (1)°. In the crystal, pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link inversion-related mol-ecules into dimers, generating R2 (2) (8) ring motifs. These dimers are further linked by C-H⋯π and π-...

The synthesis of some thio-oxocrown ether ligands, B1 (1,4-dithio-12-crown-4), B2 (1,7-dithio-12-crown-4), B3 (1,7-dithio-15-Crown-5), B4 (1,7-dithio-18-crown-6), B5 (1,10-dithio-18-crown-6), B6 (1,10-dithio-21-crown-7), under mild conditions, were reported. The ligands were characterized by FT-IR, H NMR and GC-MS spectroscopy. The formation of 1:1 ligand complexes with a variety of metal salts...
