The production of pyridine and its wide use as a solvent and as an intermediate in the synthesis of piperidine and a wide variety of drugs, insecticides and herbicides and chemicals used in rubber vulcanization may result in its release into the environment (Jori et al., 1983 Agency for Toxic Substances Disease Registry, 1992 Environmental Protection Agency, 1999). Pyridine occurs in the environment as a by-product of coal gasification (Stuermer et al., 1982). 

A -dealkylation is a common reaction in the metabolism of drugs, insecticides, and other xenobiotics. The drug ethylmorphine is a useful model compound for this reaction. In this case the methyl group is oxidized to formaldehyde, which can be readily detected by the Nash reaction. 

In the early 1960s, during investigations on the N-demethylation of aminoazo dyes, it was observed that pretreatment of mammals with the substrate or, more remarkably, with other xenobiotics, caused an increase in the ability of the animal to metabolize these dyes. It was subsequently shown that this effect was due to an increase in the microsomal enzymes involved. A symposium in 1965 and a landmark review by Conney in 1967 established the importance of induction in xenobiotic interactions. Since then, it has become clear that this phenomenon is widespread and nonspecific. Several hundred compounds of diverse chemical structure have been shown to induce monooxygenases and other enzymes. These compounds include drugs, insecticides, polycyclic hydrocarbons, and many others the only obvious common denominator... 

SAFETY PROFILE Mildly toxic by ingestion. A nuisance dust. Flammable from heat or flame or oxidizers. Mixtures with thiophosphoryl chloride react when heated to form a product that ignites and then explodes on contact with air. Used in coatings, stabilizers, explosives, P.E.T.N resins, drugs, insecticides, and lubricants. 

Use Chlorinating agent, disinfectant, industrial deodorant. In water treatment. Active ingredient of powder laundry bleaches such as Sage s Dry Bleach Colgate s Pruf. Intermediate for amino acids, drugs insecticides, Stabilizer for vinyl chloride polymers. Polymerization catalyst. 

Increasing interest has been shown in the photodecomposition of biologically important compounds such as drugs, insecticides, and herbicides which are subject to exposure to light. Sulphur-containing compounds are widely used in this context, and a number of studies of their photodecomposition have been undertaken.123-128... 

Cyclic voltammetry is not primarily a quantitative analytical technique. The references at the end of this chapter provide additional guidance to its applications and interpretation. Its real value lies in the ability to establish the nature of the electron transfer reactions—for example, fast and reversible at one extreme, slow and irreversible at the other—and to explore the subsequent reactivity of unstable products formed by the forward sweep. Suffice it to say that such studies are valuable for learning the fate and degradation of such compounds as drugs, insecticides, herbicides, foodstuff contaminants or additives, and pollutants. 

Use In the perfume industry, in flavors, for the production of drugs, insecticides, and disinfectants. 

Clark realized this, and said The action of acetylcholine depends on at least two separable factors, firstly the fixation of the drug by certain receptors, and secondly the power to produce its action after fixation (Clark, 1937). Further experimental work in Holland established these concepts firmly under the names affinity and intrinsic activity respectively (Ariens, 1954). An inhibitor (e.g. a chemotherapeutic drug, insecticide, or fungicide) requires only affinity but many pharmacodynamic drugs must have intrinsic activity as well, namely the... 

Lutidine is a liquid, very soluble in water, alcohols, ethers, ketones, hydrocarbons, and most organic solvents, it is recommended for use in the manufacture of resins, dyes, drugs, insecticides, rubbers, and organic chemicals. 

Plant cells produce far more chemical compounds than is necessary for their basic functions i.e., biochemical pathways for survival and propagation. Basic or primary metabolism refers to all biochemical processes for the normal anabolic and catabolic pathways, which result in assimilation, respiration, transport, and differentiation. Basic or primary metabolism is shared by all cells, while secondary metabolism generates diverse and seemingly less essential or nonessential byproducts called secondary products. The secondary products are the colors, flavors, and smells, which are the sources of fine chemicals such as drugs, insecticides, dyes, flavors, and fragrances, and plant-growth regulators found in medicinal plants.

Microsomal Enzyme Induction - The activity of liver microsomal enzymes can be altered by nutritional factors, hormones, and many foreign compounds. Drugs, insecticides, and carcinogens are known to stimulate drug metabolizing enzymes and frequently to increase the concentration of enzyme protein (induction)...
