Toluene

- 3-N,N-bis(2-chloroethylamino)p-toluic acid, a new cytostatic drug active in cancer.

- A class of benzenoid chemicals suppresses apoptosis in C. elegans. Benzene is a human carcinogen that might act through both genotoxic and nongenotoxic mechanisms to promote tumorigenesis. The genotoxic effects of benzene...

- A general synthesis of C6-azolyl purine nucleosides.

- A method for the determination of trinitrotoluene in air.

- A rapid gas chromatographic method for the determination of BHA and BHT in vegetable oils.

- A silver-impregnation-toluidine blue technique for demonstration of embryonic skeletal structures in paraffin sections.

- Abnormal brain MR signal intensity in a patient with toluene abuse.

- Activated carbon load equalization of gas-phase toluene: effect of cycle length and fraction of time in loading. Fluctuating pollutant concentrations pose challenges in the design and operation of air pollution control devices such as biofilters. Effective load...

- Acute behavioural comparisons of toluene and ethanol in human subjects. A comparison of toluene and ethanol (EtOH) induced changes in central nervous system (CNS) function and symptoms were evaluated in two studies, and when...

- An experimental study on the combined effects of n-hexane and toluene on the peripheral nerve of the rat. An electrophysiological study was undertaken to determine whether toluene affected the neurotoxicity of n-hexane. Separate groups of eight rats were exposed...

- An outbreak of respiratory symptoms caused by toluene di-isocyanate.

- Antipyrine clearance during experimental and occupational exposure to toluene. Exposure to toluene vapour enhances hepatic microsomal enzyme function in animals as assessed by the metabolism of the test drug antipyrine. Thirty six...

- Calix[4]arene-linked bisporphyrin hosts for fullerenes: binding strength, solvation effects, and porphyrin-fullerene charge transfer bands. A calix[4]arene scaffolding has been used to construct bisporphyrin ("jaws" porphyrin) hosts for supramolecular binding of fullerene guests. Fullerene...

- Circadian variations of acute toxicity and blood and brain concentrations of inhaled toluene in rats. To investigate circadian variations in the acute toxicity of toluene, rats were exposed to it (2000 ppm or 4000 ppm) both in the dark (the animals' active...

- Comparative study of four QSAR models of aromatic compounds to aquatic organisms. Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) were developed for 43 aromatic compounds toxicity to Photobacterium phosphoreum and Daphnia magna based...

- Comparative toxicity of chloride derivatives of toluene: benzyl chloride, benzal chloride and benzotrichloride.

- Construction of dithiol-based nanostructures by a layer-exchange process.

- Cranial MR findings in chronic toluene abuse by inhalation. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Chronic abuse of toluene by inhalation causes variable white matter changes and thalamic hypointensity on T2-weighted MR images. The...

- Determination of benzene and toluene in blood by means of a syringe-equilibration method using a small amount of blood. A gas chromatographic determination of benzene and toluene in blood with a small amount of blood sample, 0.02 or 0.1 ml, is described. In the method an...

- Determination of organophosphorus pesticide residues in the roots of Platycodon grandiflorum by solid-phase extraction and gas chromatography with flame photometric detection. A simple and rapid sample preparation method using accelerated solvent extraction and solid-phase extraction (SPE) cleanup for determining organophosphorus...
