Tentative identified

Chromatographic peak areas are calculated automatically by the data system by reference to the response obtained from certain specified, compound-dependent ions. From the peak areas of the target compounds, quantification is achieved by comparison with the internal standards, which are present in known concentration. The laboratory responsible for the analysis must report the target compounds and all tentatively identified (nontarget) compounds. Standard EPA forms must be completed and submitted. A laboratory is said to be in compliance when it has satisfied all aspects of its CLP contract. 

Occasionally the product is contaminated with an impurity (1-2%), which appears as tiny red needles. This material has been tentatively identified as diethyl azobenzene-4,4 -dicarboxylate [Benzoic acid, 4,4 -azobis-, diethyl ester],... 

In 1933, Schlubach and Knoop32 isolated a di-D-fructose dianhydride from Jerusalem artichoke and tentatively identified it as difructose anhydride I [a-D-Fru/-1,2 2,1 - 3-D-Fn / (5)]. Alliuminoside ( -D-fructofuranose- -D-fructofura-nose 2,6 6,2 -dianhydride) was isolated from tubers of Allium sewertzowi by Strepkov33 in 1958. Uchiyama34 has demonstrated the enzymic formation of a-D-Fru/-1,2 2,3 -(3-D-Fru/ [di-D-fructose anhydride III (6)] from inulin by a homogenate of the roots of Lycoris radiata Herbert. 

All elastic proteins contain distinct domains, of which at least one is made up of elastic repeat sequences, and they all contain cross-links between residues in either the nonelastic or elastic domains [9]. Previously, the Drosophila CGI5920 gene was tentatively identified as one encoding a resUin-like protein [31]. To prepare recombinant resilin, we chose to express the first exon of the Drosophila CG15920 gene [29], which encodes an N-terminal domain in the native protein comprising 17 copies of the putative elastic repeat motif GGRPSDSYGAPGGGN [31]. 

Conclusion The problem areas are tentatively identified the formulations department is asked to improve the flow properties of the granulate and thus decrease the weight dispersion. The maintenance department will now have to find a proposal for countering the excessive wear on one stamp. Note On more modem, heavily instmmented and feed-back controlled tablet presses, the described deviations would have become more readily apparent, and mechanical damage could have been avoided. 

The success of the soft ionization techniques (DCI, FAB, and LSIMS) presents several possibilities for detection of brevetoxins in complex matrices. Positive-ion DCI was used for the analysis of PbTx-3 metabolites generated in vitro by isolated rat hepatocytes (see below). Unmetabolized parent was conclusively identified and metabolites were tentatively identified, pending confirmation by alternate methods (see below). 

Approaches are required for the following stages identification of toxic species, screening techniques for detecting toxicity, techniques for purifying toxins and provisionally identifying chemical nature, and techniques for tentatively identifying mechanisms of action. 

Techniques for Tentatively Identifying Mechanisms of Action. Once the mechanism by which a toxin kills has been assessed, and toxin reasonably purified, it becomes relevant to try and ascertain as efficiently as possible the cellular mechanisms "tar-getted" by the toxin. This is a necessary step before final analysis of action using pure toxin and site-specific procedures such as the patch-clamp technique. 

GCMS Analysis. High resolution MS may be used as the primary means for quantitative determination of nitrosamines (1, 11-13). Usually it is more convenient and efficient to use the TEA for this purpose and employ GCMS for confirmation of identity of nitrosamines tentatively identified by GC-TEA. 

Usually, HPLC analysis resolves four peaks identified by co-chromatography with authentic standards as copper pheophorbide a, Cn(II) chlorin e6, Cn(II) chlorin e4, Cu rhodin g7, and their degradation products, but a sum of other colored components can also be found, for example, native chlorophylls, pheophytins, pheophor-bides, and rodochlorins (free carboxyl forms of pheophorbides) besides epimers, allomers, and degradation products that have been only tentatively identified. 

The conformationally sensitive sulphydryl group modified by membrane-impermeant reagents is the only exofacial sulphydryl, and as described in section 4.2.1, has been tentatively identified as Cys429 (Fig. 3). It is the most reactive sulphydryl in the... 

The transformation of several fluoroquinolone antibacterials was examined and a number of products from ciprafloxacin were tentatively identified (Zhang and Huang 2005). The qninolone ring was nnchanged, and the major prodnct was produced by fission of the piperazine ring to an aniline. 

The identification of volatile compounds of both Mo and W in gases from a municipal landfill (Feldmann and Cullen 1997) illustrated unusual transformation products. Although these compounds were tentatively identified as Mn2(CO)jo and W(CO)g, neither the mechanism of their formation nor their potential health hazards has been resolved. 

OH must help subsequent isomerization, because ( )-30 is stable in the presence of 1, even after 2 d at 70°C. To test whether the bulk of the silyl ether protecting group was responsible for this reactivity difference, compound 32 was allowed to isomerize, forming a high yield of (ii)-33 at room temperature. In this case, heating at 70°C for 15 h does seem to lead to traces of what is tentatively identified as 34, but the second isomerization is clearly much slower than the first. Further studies are planned to elucidate the role of a hydroxyl substituent in alkene isomerization... 

Recrystallization of 96 from benzene afforded colorless prisms. That each crystal is chiral was shown by photochemical conversion into the optically active 97. Crystals of 96 which gave (+)- and (—)-97 on photocyclization have been tentatively identified as (+)- and (—)-crystals of 96, respectively. Large amounts of the (+)- and (—)-crystals of 96 can easily be prepared by seeding with finely powdered (+)- and (—)-... 

The authors chose pyruvic acid as their model compound this C3 molecule plays a central role in the metabolism of living cells. It was recently synthesized for the first time under hydrothermal conditions (Cody et al., 2000). Hazen and Deamer carried out their experiments at pressures and temperatures similar to those in hydrothermal systems (but not chosen to simulate such systems). The non-enzymatic reactions, which took place in relatively concentrated aqueous solutions, were intended to identify the subsequent self-selection and self-organisation potential of prebiotic molecular species. A considerable series of complex organic molecules was tentatively identified, such as methoxy- or methyl-substituted methyl benzoates or 2, 3, 4-trimethyl-2-cyclopenten-l-one, to name only a few. In particular, polymerisation products of pyruvic acid, and products of consecutive reactions such as decarboxylation and cycloaddition, were observed the expected tar fraction was not found, but water-soluble components were found as well as a chloroform-soluble fraction. The latter showed similarities to chloroform-soluble compounds from the Murchison carbonaceous chondrite (Hazen and Deamer, 2007). 

P(OEt), P(0 Pr) ) in n-heptane solution. There was previous evidence for the production of two intermediates tentatively identified as W(CO) L(S) (S = solvent), with L and S cis and trans to each other (49, 0). It has now proved possible to obtain firm identification of these two species in room temperature solution from their V(C-O) absorption spectra. It could be proved that their structures were indeed cis and trans W(CO) L by generating exactly the same species in low-temperature matrices. One noteworthy feature of the experiments is that, even with such a weakly coordinating solvent as heptane, the cis and trans intermediates do not interconvert on a millesecond timescale [.53]. 

Another barnacle species, Elminius modestus, was found to produce mono and trihydroxy fatty acids [146]. Analysis of the extract of whole animal homogenates by TLC provided two hatching factor active bands. The more polar band was tentatively identified as a trihydroxy fatty acid (THFA) band. The less polar band had an / r value similar to a 5-HETE standard. The compounds from this latter band were eluted from the TLC plate, methylated, and trimethylsilylated. GC-MS analysis detected several HEPE s and small amounts of monohydroxy derivatives of Ci8 1, C18 2, and C22 fatty acids. Hydrogenation and subsequent GC-MS analysis allowed identification of the major compound as 8-HEPE (ca. 70%). Five to ten percent of 9-, 11-, and 15-HEPE and minor amounts of 5-, 6-, 12-, and 13-HEPE were also detected. No stereochemical features of these oxylipins were determined. 

The diol epoxide derivative of benzo(a)pyrene, trans-7,8-dihydroxy-anti-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo(a)pyrene also known as (+) -73,8a-dihydroxy-9ot,10a-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo(a)pyrene,was the first diol epoxide to be synthesized. Interest in this compound was stimulated by the report by Borgen et al. (8) that a metabolite of benzo(a)pyrene, tentatively identified as the trans-7,8-diol ( 1) became covalently bound to DNA in the presence of rat liver micro-somes. Sims et al. ( ) suggested that the active metabolite was a diol epoxide derivative of unspecified stereo chemistry. 

Methylcholanthrene (3-MC) is a potent carcinogen, intermediate in activity between DMBA and BP (27,77). It was first prepared in 1925 by Wieland from desoxycholic acid (89). Biological studies have tentatively identified the 9,10-dihydrodiol (24a) and/or its 1- or 2-hydroxy derivatives (24b and 24c) and the corresponding diol and triol epoxides (25 -c) as the proximate and ultimate carcinogenic forms, respectively, of 3-MC (90-93).
