Tobacco leaf

C4H N. Almost colourless, ammonia-like liquid, b.p. 88-89 C, which fumes in air. Strong base. It occurs naturally in tobacco leaves, but is made industrially by hydrogenation of pyrrole.

Ethers, esters, amides and imidazolidines containing an epithio group are said to be effective in enhancing the antiwear and extreme pressure peiformance of lubricants. Other uses of thiiranes are as follows fuel gas odorant (2-methylthiirane), improvement of antistatic and wetting properties of fibers and films [poly(ethyleneglycol) ethers of 2-hydroxymethyl thiirane], inhibition of alkene metathesis (2-methylthiirane), stabilizers for poly(thiirane) (halogen adducts of thiiranes), enhancement of respiration of tobacco leaves (thiirane), tobacco additives to reduce nicotine and to reduce phenol levels in smoke [2-(methoxymethyl)thiirane], stabilizers for trichloroethylene and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (2-methylthiirane, 2-hydroxymethylthiirane) and stabilizers for organic compounds (0,0-dialkyldithiophosphate esters of 2-mercaptomethylthiirane). The product of the reaction of aniline with thiirane is reported to be useful in the flotation of zinc sulfide.

It should be borne in mind that although it is possible to generalise on sampling procedures, all industries have their own established methods for obtaining a record of the quantity and/or quality of their products. The sampling procedures for tobacco leaves will obviously differ from those used for bales of cotton or for coal. But although the types of samples differ considerably the actual analytical methods used later are of general application. 

Solanesol and other prenyl alcohols are important as metabolites in mulberry and tobacco leaves and in the synthesis of isoprenoid quinones. Hence, Sato and collaborators107 have developed a stereoselective synthesis of all-trans-polyprenol alcohols up to C50. Construction of the requisite skeletons was accomplished by the alkylation of a p-toluenesulphonyl-stabilized carbanion, followed by reductive desulphonylation of the resulting allylic sulphonyl group. This was achieved most efficiently by the use of a large excess of lithium metal in ethylamine (equation (43)), although all reaction conditions led to mixtures. The minor product results from double bond rearrangement.

Exposure to endosulfan residues in tobacco products could be another important source of general population exposure. Endosulfan residues in tobacco leaves and finished tobacco products were reviewed by EPA (1982a). Eor example, auction market tobacco had a mean residue of <0.2-14 ppm endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate in the early 1970s, and cigarettes sold in 1973 contained a mean residue of 0.83 ppm endosulfan. No information was found in the available literature regarding endosulfan concentrations in cigarette smoke.

In Tobacco. At the time of harvesting, fresh tobacco leaves do not contain measurable amounts of nitrosamines (<5 ppb). However, these compounds are formed during curing, aging and fermentation. Their concentrations depend primarily on the content of proteins, alkaloids, agricultural chemicals and nitrate in the tobacco, as well as on the processing conditions which lead to the reduction of the nitrates.

Cadmium is nutritionally non-essential, toxic and a ubiquitous environmental pollutant. It is found in leafy vegetables, grains and cereals, and since it is present in substantial amounts in tobacco leaves, cigarette smokers on a packet a day can easily double their cadmium intake. It has a long biological half-life (17-30 years in man), accumulates in liver and kidneys and its toxicity involves principally kidney and bone (Goyer, 1997).While Cd interferes primarily with calcium, it also interacts with zinc and can induce the synthesis of metallothionein. Cadmium bound to metallothionein in liver or kidney is thought to be non-toxic, but cadmium in plasma... 

The first hurdle encountered during the development of alfalfa as a recombinant protein production system was the relative inefficiency of the available expression cassettes. A study in which a tomato proteinase inhibitor I transgene was expressed in tobacco and alfalfa under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter showed that 3-4 times more protein accumulated in tobacco leaves compared to alfalfa leaves [5]. Despite the low efficiency of the CaMV 35S promoter in alfalfa, bio-pharmaceutical production using this system has been reported in the scientific literature. Such reports include expression of the foot and mouth disease virus antigen [6], an enzyme to improve phosphorus utilization [7] and the anti-human IgG C5-1 [8]. In this last work, the C5-1 antibody accumulated to 1% total soluble protein [8].
