Azo Pigments

Azo pigments and quinacridones induce delayed hypersensitivity in red tattoos.

BACKGROUND Induction of delayed hypersensitivity reactions by red tattoos has been occasionally reported. Little is known about the inks used. Azo pigments have been implicated in some instances, but there is only one reported case involving quinacridones. OBJECTIVES To describe the clinical and pathological features and outcome of skin reactions induced by red tattoo pigments. PATIENTS, MA...

Azo mesogenic compounds

Series of elongated azo esters containing three rings with methyl moiety as one of the terminal carbon chain and various substituents R(R=H,CH3,OCH3,NO2,Cl) at the other end of the molecule have been isolated , and their structure were were characterized by H-NMR and IR as well as elemental analysis . The mesomorphic properties of these compounds were investigated via differential scanning calo...

Origin of Bile Pigments

S. H. ROBINSON (Boston) described a new experimental technique for studying the early labelled component of bilirubin in the ligated bile duct of the Gunn rat. Using 14C bilirubin he measured the total miscible bilirubin pool. In addition, the rate of bile pigment formation following the administration of 2-14C glycine was estimated. This allowed precise assessment of bilirubin and haem product...
