Antimicrobial activity of N-alkyl-N-dodecylpiperidinium bromides and N-ethyl-N-dodecylheterocycloalkyl ammonium bromides (pyrrolidine, morpholine, perhydroazepine) determined on grampositive and gramnegative bacteria, yeasts and moulds, presented as minimum inhibition concentration (MIC). Comparison of the effect of change of structure: lengthening of alkyl chain, change of heterocyclic ring. Change in the length of alkyl chain markedly affects the antimicrobial activity, change of heterocyclic ring has no substantial effect. The most active compounds were N-heptyl-and N-hexyl-N-dodecylpiperidinium bromides.

This paper describes a one-tube sample preparation method for blood lead determination which is relatively simple to perform and which does not require background correction for matrix effects. The red cells are lysed with a dilute potassium cyanide solution and heat. A citrate buffer is added, and the solution is then extracted with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate and methyl isobutyl ketone. An aliquot of the MIBK layer is applied to a carbon rod atomizer and the peak at 217.0 nm is measured. The method demonstrates an overall in-run reproducibility of 1.39 microgram/100 mL blood standard deviation, a between-run standard deviation of 2.27 microgram/100 mL blood and a sensitivity of 0.012 microgram/mL/1% nm.

Flameless atomic absorption spectroscopy with a carbon rod atomizer was used to determine lead, cadmium, and chromium in whole-fish samples. Samples were dry-ashed, and the metals were separated by solvent extraction with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate in methyl isobutyl ketone, and then back-partitioned into an aqueous acid solution for analysis. The back-partitioning step allows a direct comparison of sample solutions with aqueous solutions of the standard. Recoveries of the metals from fortified samples averaged 91% (+/-9.6) for lead and 100% (+/-5.6) for chromium at the 0.1-1 ppm level, and 100% (+/-13.3) for cadmium at the 0.01-0.1 ppm level.

Proline in aqueous solution shows several properties which are unusual for low molecular weight substances. Investigations of solubility, density and viscosity revealed behaviour which is characteristic for hydrophilic colloids. 1H-NMR studies indicated a strong hydrogen bonding of water in proline solutions, especially at high concentrations of the solute. From these results it was concluded that proline forms aggregates by stepwise stacking and hydrophobic interaction of the pyrrolidine ring. Thus, the proposed multimer contans a hydrophobic backbone and hydrophilic groups on the surface, exposed to water. Proline solutions are able to increase the solubility of sparingly soluble proteins. The enhancement effect depends on the nature of the protein and on the proline concentration. It is postulated that by a hydrophobic interaction of proline with hydrophobic surface residues of proteins their hydrophilic area is increased. The presence of proline in solutions of the well soluble protein bovine albumin reduces the precipitation of this protein by ethanol and (NH4)2SO4, presumably by an increased water-binding capacity of the proline-protein solution.

A microtechnique is described for determination of lead and cadmium in blood (0.1 ml) and in urine (0.2 ml) using extraction into methyl isobutyl-ketone after chelation by ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate. Mineralization, precipitation of proteins or addition of hemolysing reagents are not necessary. Blood is hemolysed by addition of deionised water. pH of urine is fixed by a pH 5 buffer. This microtechnique is simple, rapid, reproducible and suitable for routine analysis. In healthy subjects it gives values comparable to data of other workers: blood 158 microgram/l lead (s = 40, n = 18); 0.7 microgram/l cadmium (s = 0.3, n = 10); urine 16 microgram/l lead (s = 9.4, n = 10); 0.5 microgram/l cadmium (s = 0.3, n = 10).

A method for the determination of bismuth in blood, urine and cerebrospinal fluid is described. Using ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate as chelating agent, bismuth is extracted in hexane and determined by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry with a graphite furnace. A sample of 0.5 ml is sufficient for the determination of bismuth at concentrations ranging from a few mug/l to 2000 mug/l. In subjects not receiving bismuth, the concentration in blood is below 10 mug/l and in subjects intoxicated with bismuth prescribed for digestive diseases the concentration can reach 2000 mug/l and more.

Prolyl endopeptidase [EC 3.4.21.26] was purified to homogeneity from the culture filtrate of Agaricus bisporus by a procedure that comprised ammonium sulfate fractionation, anion-exchange chromatographies on DEAE-Toyopearl and DEAE-Sephadex, hydroxylapatite chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a TSKgel G 2000 SW column. The overall activity recovery was 8.6%. The enzyme was most active at or around pH 7.5 and was stable in the range of pH 5-9 when checked with Z-Gly-Pro-beta-naphthylamide as a substrate. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was about 4.8. The enzyme was a monomeric protein of molecular weight 78,000 +/- 2,000 as judged by gel permeation chromatography on Sephadex G-150 and electrophoresis on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel. The enzyme hydrolyzed Pro-X bonds and at least five subsites (S3, S2, S1, S1', and S2') were found to be involved in enzyme-substrate binding. Among them, S2, S1, and S1' subsites of the enzyme showed high stereospecificity. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), Z-Gly-Pro-CH2Cl, Z-Pro-prolinal, Z-Pro-pyrrolidine, Z-Thiopro-pyrrolidine, Z-Pro-thiazolidine, Z-Thioprothiazolidine, and p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB), while it was not inhibited by phenyl-methylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), E-64, iodoacetamide, or metal chelators. Although the A. bisporus enzyme showed no immunological cross reaction with anti-bovine prolyl endopeptidase antiserum, the other characteristics were quite similar to those of mammalian and plant enzymes.

Energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence was used for the analysis of hair samples from three different age groups of the Sudanese population. Hair samples were digested in a mixture of nitric and perchloric acids and the metals were then precipitated with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate. The variations of the Fe, Cu, Zn and Pb content of hair with age were investigated. The averages of the elemental concentrations in each age group were compared with the other age groups and with literature values. The correlation of each pair of elements in the hair samples was also investigated.

The substrate specificity of two homogeneous amine N-methyltransferases from rabbit liver has been demonstrated to extend to the azaheterocycles pyridine, R-(+)-nicotine and S-(-)-nicotine. Both enzymes methylate R-(+)-nicotine at the pyridyl nitrogen to afford the N-methylnicotinium salt, whereas S-(-)-nicotine does not act as a substrate for either enzyme. Surprisingly, R-(+)-nicotine is methylated at either the pyridyl nitrogen, or the pyrrolidine nitrogen, to afford the two isomeric monomethylate nicotinium ions when an enzymic preparation containing both methyl transferase activities was used. Under similar conditions S-(-)-nicotine was methylated only at the pyridyl nitrogen. The production of charged metabolites in-vivo, from the large number of pyridino-compounds that are used as drugs, or are present in the environment, may be of toxicological significance, in view of the reported toxicities of several such quaternary ammonium compounds.

A graphite-furnace atomic absorption (GFAAS) method is described for determining total arsenic (organic and inorganic compounds) in foods. Samples ranging from 1 to 40 g (depending on moisture content) were digested with HNO3 and dry-ashed at 500 degrees C overnight after addition of MgO. After dissolution in HCl, the arsenic was reduced with iodide and ascorbic acid and precipitated with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) in the presence of nickel carrier. Precipitates were collected on 0.3 micron cellulose acetate filters and dissolved in 10% HNO3 containing modifier. Ba(NO3)2 was added to remove a sulfate interference resulting from decomposition of APDC. Arsenic was determined using GFAAS. Accuracy of the method was good for 7 U.S. National Bureau of Standards (NBS) Standard Reference Materials and 3 National Research Council of Canada (NRCC) round-robin samples. Recovery of arsenic(V) from foods averaged 99.2% for peak heights and 97.1% for peak areas, with relative standard deviations (RSD) of 2.2% for peak heights and 3.3% for peak areas for all NBS and NRCC materials. Detection limit of the method was ca 10 ng arsenic.
