I. In several experiments the kinetics and questionable mutial influences of Methanol, Propanol-1 and Isobutanol were examined while Ethanol was present. II. In five different experiments 30 persons got separate congeners (7 mg Methanol/kg body weight, 5 mg Propanol-1/kg body weight, 5 mg Isobutanol/kg body weight) with 0.8 g Ethanol/kg body weight. The times of drinking took both 30 and 60 min...

Intravenous injections of n-propanol (25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg) provoke blood concentration curves having exponential shapes of dose dependent rate constants after a sufficiently long time (2 min). They have to be seen therefore as a result of a non-linear elimination process controlled by a Michaelis-Menten-kinetic. Using the Lineweaver-Burk-method the characteristic data of metabo...

A flow-injection system has been developed for the determination of 2-propanol in the surface cleaning solutions used in the copper continuous cast rod making system. Adsorption chromatography in nitric acid medium was used for the on-line separation of oily substances in the sample solution. Cerium(IV) diammonium nitrate was utilized as the chromogenic reagent for the spectrophotometric detect...

Bisphenol A (BPA) is metabolized by a Gram-negative aerobic bacterium via a novel pathway involving oxidative skeletal rearrangement of the BPA. Oxidation of the aliphatic methyl group of BPA leads to coproduction of the methyl-hyroxylated 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanol and a skeletally rearranged triol 1,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propanol. The major route of metabolism (> 80%) is through t...

Particulate matter (PM) is emitted from a range of combustion sources, can vary greatly in properties, and able to penetrate deep into the human lungs, conveying carcinogenic PAHs present on particle surface. Alcohol based biofuels have been shown potentially reduce PM emissions when displacing fossil fuels. To improve understanding influence fuel bound oxygen relative toxicity PM, this paper i...

In the title compound, C11H11NO3S2, the S-Csp (2) bonds are shorter [1.746 (3) and 1.750 (2) Å] than the S-CH3 bonds [1.794 (3) and 1.806 (3) Å], which we attribute to d-π inter-actions between the S atoms and the C=C bond. The 1,1-bis-(methyl-sulfan-yl)-3-oxo-propyl-ene fragment and the 4-nitro-phenyl group are both almost planar, with the largest deviations from their mean planes being 0.053 ...

In the title compound, C(12)H(14)N(2)O, the middle C atom in the propanol chain is a chiral center and possesses an S absolute configuration, according to the synthesis. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a chain along the b axis.

Effective disinfectants are of key importance for the safe handling and reprocessing of surgical instruments. This study tested whether new formulations containing SDS, NaOH and 1-propanol (n-propanol) are simultaneously active against a broad range of pathogens including bacteria, fungi, non-enveloped viruses and prions. Inactivation and disinfection were examined in suspension and on carriers...

An enzyme capable of dehalogenating vicinal haloalcohols to their corresponding epoxides was purified from the 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol-utilizing bacterium Arthrobacter sp. strain AD2. The inducible haloalcohol dehalogenase converted 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol, 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol, 1-chloro-2-propanol, and their brominated analogs, 2-bromoethanol, as well as chloroacetone and 1,3-dichloroacet...
