Sulfur mustard (bis[2-chloroethyl]sulfide; C4H8Cl2S; CASRN: 505-60-2) or as it is commonly called, ‘mustard gas’, is one of a class of vesicant chemical warfare agents with the ability to form vesicles or blisters on exposed skin. Sulfur mustard is a viscous liquid at ambient temperature, but becomes a solid at 58 °F (14 °C). It is heavier than water as a liquid and heavier than air as a vapor....

The role of hyperthermia during regional alkylating agent chemotherapy is controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the exact contribution of hyperthermia to tumor response during isolated limb infusion with l-phenylalanine mustard. Rats bearing rodent fibrosarcoma on the hindlimb underwent isolated limb infusion with saline, saline plus heat, l-phenylalanine mustard, l-phenylalanin...

Destructive properties of nitrogen mustard especially on respiratory system make it an effective chemical weapon with lack of an antidote. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of oxidative stress in mustard toxicity and the protective effect of proanthocyanidine. Rats were separated into three groups each containing fifteen rats. The three groups were control group which were expos...

Introduction Yellow mustard (Sinapis alba L.) is a new multipurpose rotation oilseed crop for Willamette Valley agriculturalists, especially non-irrigated operations. Yellow mustard can also be used to produce condiment mustard, as a green manure crop, and as a biopesticide. Although yellow mustard seed production is relatively new to the Willamette Valley, Oregon’s north-central counties have ...

Commonly cultivated Brassicaceae mustards, namely garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata), white mustard (Brassica alba), Ethiopian mustard (B. carinata), Asian mustard (B. juncea), oilseed rape (B. napus), black mustard (B. nigra), rapeseed (B. rapa), white ball mustard (Calepina irregularis), ball mustard (Neslia paniculata), treacle mustard (Erysimum repandum), hedge mustard (Sisymbrium officina...

Sulfur mustard is a synthetic organic compound. It was first manufactured in 1822 by the action of ethene on sulfur monochloride or dichloride. Since then, the methods of manufacture have been refined, although they have not been changed substantially. Three main processes have been used. The Germans produced sulfur mustard using the Meyer process, which involved treating ethylene with hypochlo...

Mustard is a condiment that has been used for culinary, religious and cultural purposes by humanity since time immemorial. Mustard has figured prominently in the Indian tradition and its medicinal properties have been systematically evaluated and documented in the classical Ayurvedic texts. The paper attempts to carefully review the ancient and contemporary uses of mustard as food and medicine ...

references to the mustard bath, pack and poultice, etc. As such references, however, are scattered throughout the large field of medical literature, and as fresh suggestions for the therapeutic uses of mustard are frequently being published, there seems reason to believe that an article in which the known medical applications of mustard are collated may be of value to the prescriber. It is gene...

This study compared the nutritional value of canola (B. napa) and mustard (B. hirta) press cakes obtained from the biodiesel industry as ingredients for use in diets fed to broiler chickens. A total of 210, one-day old, male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to one of seven dietary treatments. The control diet was based on wheat and soybean meal and contained 15% canola meal. For the experi...

The reaction products formed by reacting deoxyguanosine with phosphoramide mustard at pH 7.4 have been analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography and Schiff's reaction. The adducts consisted of five fractions of phosphoramide mustard-imidazole ring-opened deoxyguanosine complexes and one fraction of each of intact phosphoramide mustard-deoxyguanosine and phosphoramide mustard-dideoxygua...
