Silver compounds having anions that are inherently toxic, eg, silver arsenate and silver cyanide, can cause adverse health effects. The reported rat oral LD values for silver nitrate, silver arsenate [13510-44-6] and silver cyanide are 500—800 (29), 200—400 (29), and 123 mg/kg (30), respectively. Silver compounds or complexes ia which the silver ion is not biologically available, eg, silver sulfide and silver thiosulfate complexes, are considered to be without adverse health effects and essentially nontoxic. 

The iacreased chemical stabiUty of the 6-deoxytetracyclines allows chemical modification with retention of biological activity electrophilic substitutions have been carried out at C-7 and C-9 under strongly acidic conditions (46—53). Reactions of 6-deoxy-6-demethyltetracycline [808-26-4] (16), C21H22N2O7, with electrophiles, such as nitrate ion (49), bromomium ion (46,47) (from N-bromosuccinimide), or N-hydroxymethylphthalimide (53), yielded 7-substituted tetracyclines. In the case of the nitration reaction, both the 7- and 9-nitro isomers (17, X = NO2, Y = H) and (17, X = H, Y = NO2) were obtained.

Nitrate has been described as a biological time bomb . Those who enjoy their doom and gloom will be pleased to hear that there may be two such bombs, one with a physical clock and one with a biological clock. Both can be studied with the aid of computer models. 

If there is a biologically timed bomb, it must lie in the accumulation in the soil s organic matter of nitrogen that will be released as nitrate by microbes at some unknown time in the future. The calculations made in the previous section suggest that, when nitrogen fertilizer is given in excess of the needs of the crop, a... 

Nitrogen oxides are formed at various stages of the biological denitrification process. This process starts with nitrate as the nitrate is reduced through various steps, NO2, NO, N2O, and N2 can be formed and, depending on the conditions, released to the atmosphere. 

Chloride channels are membrane proteins that allow for the passive flow of anions across biological membranes. As chloride is the most abundant anion under physiological conditions, these channels are often called chloride channels instead of anion channels, even though other anions (such as iodide or nitrate) may permeate better. As some CLC proteins function as CF-channels, whereas other perform CF/H+-exchangers are also mentioned here. 

Dihydropyrans [71] and 4-dihydropyranones [72] have been prepared by BF3 or Me2AlCl catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions of alkyl and aryl aldehydes with dienes 72 and 73 (Equations 3.20 and 3.21). Allylic bis-silanes are useful building blocks for synthesizing molecules of biological interest [73], 4-Pyra-nones have been obtained by cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN) oxidation of the cycloadducts.
