Biological chloride

The chemistry of carboxylic acids is the central theme of this chapter The impor tance of carboxylic acids is magnified when we realize that they are the parent com pounds of a large group of derivatives that includes acyl chlorides acid anhydrides esters and amides Those classes of compounds will be discussed m Chapter 20 Together this chapter and the next tell the story of some of the most fundamental struc tural types and functional group transformations m organic and biological chemistry... 

Therapeutics. Compounds containing the furan or tetrahydrofuran ring are biologically active and are present in a number of pharmaceutical products. Eurfurjdamine [617-89-0] is an intermediate in the diuretic, furosemide. Tetrahydrofurfurylamine [4795-29-3] may also have pharmaceutical applications. 5-(E)imethyiaininomethyi)furfuryi alcohol [15433-79-17 is an intermediate in the preparation of ranitidine, which is used for treating ulcers. 2-Acet5dfuran [1192-62-7] prepared from acetic anhydride and furan is an intermediate in the synthesis of cefuroxime, a penicillin derivative. 2-Euroic acid is prepared by the oxidation of furfural. Both furoic acid [88-14-2] and furoyl chloride [527-69-5] are used as pharmaceutical intermediates. 

Several biologically and pharmacologically active compounds have been prepared from the condensation of the acid chloride of 1-naphthoxyacetic acid with carbazole, iadole, or pyrrole ia 2A[ NaOH solution ia ethanol (63). Also, naphthyloxy derivatives of imidazole, benzimidazole, and benzotriazoles have been synthesized and screened for their antimicrobial, analgesic, and antiinflammatory activities. 2-Naphthyloxy derivatives are comparatively more active than 1-naphthyloxy derivatives (64). 

Tributyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium chloride was developed specifically (26,27) as a broad-spectmm biocide for the control of biological fouling in cooling water systems where it is particularly effective (see Industrialantimicrobialagents). 

A wide variety of quaternaries can be prepared. Alkylation with benzyl chloride may produce quaternaries that are biologically active, namely, bactericides, germicides, or algaecides. Reaction of a tertiary amine with chloroacetic acid produces an amphoteric compound, a betaine. 

There are three general types of radiopharmaceuticals elemental radionucHdes or simple compounds, radionucHde complexes, and radiolabeled biologically active molecules. Among the first type are radionucHdes in their elemental form such as Kr and Xe or Xe, and simple aqueous radionucHde solutions such as or I-iodide, Tl-thaUous chloride, Rb-mbidium(I) chloride [14391-63-0] Sr-strontium(II) chloride, and Tc-pertechnetate. These radiopharmaceuticals are either used as obtained from the manufacturer in a unit dose, ie, one dose for one patient, or dispensed at the hospital from a stock solution that is obtained as needed from a chromatographic generator provided by the manufacturer. 

Many kits contain the indicated biologically active ingredient in a lyophilized form with stannous chloride. A Tc-labeled radiopharmaceutical, which can be used for six hours, is formed when mixed with Tc pertechnetate. Preparation of the agent is at room temperature, unless otherwise stated. Technetium-99m. Available Tc kits are Hsted below. 

Silver diethyldithiocarbamate [1470-61-7] is a reagent commonly used for the spectrophotometric measurement of arsenic in aqueous samples (51) and for the analysis of antimony (52). Silver iodate is used in the determination of chloride in biological samples such as blood (53). 

Incineration in an approved combustion plant is the preferred method of disposal. Wastewater from succinic acid processes is suitable for biological degradation by activated sludge (188). Polymeric sorbents (189) and ferric chloride treatment processes (190) can also be used for wastes containing... 

Thiamine [59-43-8] is the official lUPAC-IUB name for 3-(4-aniiQO-2-methyl-5pyrimidiQyl) methyl-5-(-2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthia2olium chloride, C 2H yN40SCl (1). The names thiamine, thiamin (used in many official and commercial documents), aneurine, and the older term vitamin are also casually used. These names usually refer to the chloride hydrochloride [67-03-8] (2), the common biological and commercial form. 

The inorganic characterization schedule for wastewaters to be treated using biological systems should include those tests which provide information concerning (/) potential toxicity, such as heavy metal, ammonia, etc (2) potential inhibitors, such as total dissolved soHds (TDS) and chlorides (J) contaminants requiring specific pretreatment such as pH, alkalinity, acidity, suspended soHds, etc and (4) nutrient availabiUty. 

Ion Selective Electrodes Technique. Ion selective (ISE) methods, based on a direct potentiometric technique (7) (see Electroanalytical techniques), are routinely used in clinical chemistry to measure pH, sodium, potassium, carbon dioxide, calcium, lithium, and chloride levels in biological fluids. 

In biological materials, various nonspecific precipitants have been used in the gravimetric deterrnination of choline, including potassium triiodide, platinum chloride, gold chloride, and phosphotungstic acid (28). Choline may also be determined spectrophotometricaHy and by microbiological, enzymatic, and physiological assay methods.

As the most significant point sources of phosphorus are those from sewage treatment works (STW), control of phosphorus loading is most readily achieved either by precipitation of phosphorus with iron salts (iron(lll) sulfate or iron(lll) chloride) or by biological removal. The latter can only effectively be achieved in STWs using activated sludge and there have been many descriptions of this technique. ... 

Solutions in contact with polyvinyl chloride can become contaminated with trace amounts of lead, titanium, tin, zinc, iron, magnesium or cadmium from additives used in the manufacture and moulding of PVC. V-Phenyl-2-naphthylamine is a contaminant of solvents and biological materials that have been in contact with black rubber or neoprene (in which it is used as an antioxidant). Although it was only an artefact of the separation procedure it has been isolated as an apparent component of vitamin K preparations, extracts of plant lipids, algae, livers, butter, eye tissue and kidney tissue [Brown Chem Br 3 524 1967]. 

The process of isolation finally adopted by the former authors consists in precipitating as reineckates the water-soluble bases contained in a methyl alcoholic extract of the curare. The mixed reineckates are further purified, by solution in acetone and precipitation with water as often as may be necessary. The product so cleaned represents the bulk of the biological activity of the crude drug the mother liquors may contain curine (p. 374), which indicates a menisperm as one of the components of such curares. The mixed reineckates are then fractionated chromato-graphically over alumina and the components isolated as chlorides by the use of silver sulphate and barium chloride in succession. This process has been modified in detail by Schmid and Karrer, who have also found that with their curare, the more soluble reineckate fraction includes less potent quaternary alkaloids.
