Vinyl carbamate was much more active (10 to 50 times) than ethyl carbamate for the initiation of skin tumors and for the induction of lung adenomas in mice. Vinyl carbamate was also mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535 and TA 100 in the presence of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-fortified rat or mouse liver mitochondrial supernatant fractions. This mutagenic activity...

Abstract Regioselective tritylation and carbonate aminolysis were employed in this work to synthesize cellulose 2,3- bis (3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate)-6-( α -phenylethyl carbamate)-type chiral selectors. We evaluated optimized the critical aspects of regioselective detritylation at C6 glucopyranose units polysaccharide backbone. The advantage using II comparison I for was analyzed time determi...

The in vivo and in vitro haemolytic activity of guaiacol glycerol ether has been investigated. Intravenous injections in concentrations of 12.5 per cent or greater produced intravascular haemolysis. The haemolysis produced was not related to the speed of injection. In vitro studies with concentrations of guaiacol glycerol ether confirmed that the critical concentration for the production of hae...

Structural modifications of the multipotential carcinogen ethyl carbamate (urethan), CH3CH2—O---CO—-NH2, generally result in dramatic losses of carcinogenic activity, which usually have been assayed by lung adenoma induction and by initiation of skin papillomas in mice (reviewed in Refs. 12 and 20). One exception is ethyl N-hydroxycanbamate, CH3CH2— O—CO—-NHOH, a metabolite of ethyl c...

It has been commonly assumed that carbamate kinnse (EC 2.7.2.2, ATP : carbamate phospllotransferase) catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group between 1TP and the carbamate ion. Evidence which has been put forward supporting this belief is the observation that freshly dissolved ammonium carbamate is a much better substrate for the enzyme than freshly dissolved ammonium carbonate at pH 9.4 (1)...

Kinetics of oxidation of mephenesin and guaifenesin by sodium N-chlorobenzenesulfonamide (CAB) have been investigated in HCl medium at 303 K. The oxidation behaviour is similar for both the substrates. The rate shows a first order dependence on both [CAB]0 and [HCl], and is fractional in [substrate]0. The orders individually in [H ] and [Cl] are fractional. The variation of ionic strength and a...

Ethyl carbamate and a series of related compounds were given in single intraperitoneal doses to pregnant Syrian hamsters on Day 8 of gestation, and fetuses were examined for malformations on Day 13 of gestation. Urethan produced a variety of malforma tions and growth retardation. Of the compounds modified in the carboethoxy end, n-propyl carbamate was as teratogenic as the ethyl carbamate, and ...
