Hypersensitivity organic solvents

Contraindications Intestinal obstruction, GI tract not anatomically intact patients at risk of hemorrhage or GI perforation, if use would increase risk and severity of aspiration not effective for cyanide, mineral acids, caustic alkalis, organic solvents, iron, ethanol, methanol poisoning, lithium do not use charcoal with sorbitol in patients with fructose intolerance, hypersensitivity to charcoal or any component of the formulation... 

Figure 10.5 Plant cell cultures have proven to be very useful for studying plant-pathogen interactions and isoprenoid metabolism. Tobacco cell cultures respond rapidly to the addition of fungal elicitors (0.5 pg cellulase/ml of culture) by browning (A) (analogous to a hypersensitive response) and the production of phytoalexins (B). Media was collected from elicited cell cultures at the indicated times, partitioned against an organic solvent, and concentrated aliquots run on a silica TLC plate. The plates were then sprayed with a suspension of Cladosporium cucumerinum spores and incubated in a humid environment for 5 days before viewing (B). The compound released from the elicitor-treated tobacco cells that inhibits spore germination is capsidiol, a sesquiterpene.

Kolattukudy Gamble 1995). In the case of fungal infection of leaves of some plant species, infection is also promoted by removal of leaf surface waxes by immersion of chloroform or another suitable organic solvent prior to the infection assay (Carver et al. 1990). Inoculation of the fungus is then followed by assaying for a necrotic or other hypersensitive response or phytoalexin production, and the effect of these responses on fungal proliferation.
