Nitrogen rich compounds are suitable as ingredients in low smoke propellant charges. Several high-N energetic materials are presented which are based on tetrazoles. Tetrazoles are an unique class of compounds, since they combine a high nitrogen content and a high heat of formation with good thermal and kinetic stabilities due to their aromatic ring system. The reaction of 5azidotetrazole with h...

Use was made of the asialoglycoprotein receptor system in a perfused rat liver in order to study lysosomal degradation and subsequent metabolism of radioactive derivatives of asialo-ovine submaxillary mucin and asialo-alpha 1-acid glycoprotein. A trace of N-acetyl-D-[6-3H]galactosamine-labeled asialo-ovine submaxillary (4 micrograms) was completely taken up by the tissue in less than 20 min. Af...
