The reactions of the CH(3)NH and (CH(3))(2)N radicals with NO have been studied using quantum chemistry methods to compare the formation and stability of primary and secondary nitrosamines. The calculations show that the entrance part of potential energy surfaces of CH(3)NHNO and (CH(3))(2)NNO formation are similar, and it is concluded that primary amines form nitrosamines under the atmospheric...

Modern trends in the reduction of cigarette consumption have led to spread smokeless tobacco and non-tobacco nicotine-containing products [1]; their variety creates certain problems with identification this segment. Sucking (snus) has been banned Russian Federation for wholesale retail trade since 2015, but it is a product similar chew- ing packaging, ingredient composition physiological effect...

The computer automated structure evaluation program (CASE) has been extended to perform automatic quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR). Applications include the carcinogenicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and of N-nitrosamines. Agreement with experiment is satisfactory.

Carcinogenic N-nitrosamines were tested for their ability to induce lambda in a lysogenic strain of Escherichia coli K-12 (58-161 F+ Dimethylnitrosamine, di-n-propylnitrosamine, methyl-n-propylnitrosamine, and N-nitrosopiperidine were shown to be inducers of prophage.
