some new 3-heterocyclyl-1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3h)-ones (7a-f) were prepared in moderate to good yields by nitrosation of n-heterocyclyl-2- aminobenzanilides (6a-f). the latter were obtained by hydrazine hydrate-graphite reduction of corresponding n-heterocyclyl-2-nitrobenzanilides (5a-f)

The selective nitrosation of β-dicarbonyl compounds with sodium nitrite was carried out under1-methyl-3-carboxymethylimidazolium chloride, prepared from N-methylimidazole andchloroacetic acid, as an acidic ionic liquid. The reaction was found to proceed under relativelymild conditions with excellent conversion and selectivity. The ionic liquid was recycled andreused.

Aspirated fasting gastric juice from patients with lesions of the gastrointestinal tract and from healthy controls was analysed for nitrite before and after (30, 90, and 240 min) oral administration of 200 mg nitrate. Wilcoxon's rank-sum tests showed no significant differences in fasting gastric juice nitrite concentrations between healthy controls and patients after proximal gastral vagotomy o...

In this study, monthly variations in biomass of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) were analysed over a 1-year period by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) at the full-scale Fusina WWTP. The nitrification capacity of the plant was also monitored using periodic respirometric batch tests and by an automated on-line titrimetric instrument (TITrimetric Auto...

The alkylating potency of unstable N-nitrosamino acids and N-nitrosopeptides was investigated in vitro using 4-(para-nitrobenzyl)pyridine (NBP) as nucleophile. Of the amino acids, Met and those with an aromatic side chain were the most potent. The relative overall alkylating potency was 23:10:5:4:2:1: for Trp, Met, His, Tyr, Phe and Gly, respectively. The homo-dipeptides were much more potent t...

Dysfunction of vascular nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP signaling is believed to contribute essentially to various cardiovascular disorders. Besides synthesis and/or bioavailability of endothelial NO, impaired function of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) may play a key role in vascular dysfunction. Based on the proposal that desensitization of sGC through S-nitrosation contributes to vascular NO resistan...

N-Nitrosation of a model aromatic amine (2,3-diamino-naphthalene) by the N-nitrosating agent produced by nitrite in acidic solution was inhibited by a polyphenol, chlorogenic acid, which is an ester of caffeic acid quinic acid. Caffeic acid also inhibited the N-nitrosation, but quinic acid did not. 1,2-Benzenediols and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid had inhibitory activities. Chlorogenic acid, caffe...
