Trailing substances

A trail substance of the Pharaoh ant, Monomorium pharaonis (L), has been identified as a 3-butyl-5-methyloctahydroindolizine of unknown stereochemistry. The four isomers (6a—d) have now been prepared by methods which allow the stereochemistry at C-3, C-5, and C-9 to be assigned. Reaction of 2,6-lutidine (7) with n-butyl-lithium and 1,2-epoxyhexane gave the alcohol (8), which on treatment... 

The word is from the Creek pherein, to carry, and horman, to excite. Even though they are emitted and detected in exceedingiy smaii amounts, pheromones have profound bio-iogicai effects. One of their main effects is sexual attraction and stimulation, but they are also used as alarm substances to alert members of the same species to danger, as aggregation substances to call together both sexes of a species, and as trail substances to lead members of a species to food. 

Dr. Joe Vinson of the University of Scranton believes that there is something to the chocolate effect, and he came to Belmont to tell us about his intriguing research. Vinson has determined the total polyphenol content of various chocolates and has also found a way of measuring how effective these mixtures are in preventing the oxidation of human ldl in a test tube. In other words, he has calculated a phenol antioxidant index, which takes into account both the quantity and the quality of these desirable substances. At the symposium Vinson reported that cocoa powder and dark chocolate are the best, followed by milk chocolate. Instant cocoa mixes trail the field. Then Vinson delivered the kicker chocolate has more, and better, polyphenols than fruits or vegetables and more than red wine. A forty-gram bar of dark chocolate has as many polyphenols as a cup of that widely promoted antioxidant cocktail we call tea. But there is still the matter of chocolate s fat content. Researchers tell us, though, that at least half of it is stearic acid, which does not raise blood cholesterol. 

Ketamine is almost never taken alone in a club environment. It is frequently mixed with a stimulant like cocaine or methamphetamine and taken simultaneously (commonly called trail mix ). Because its effects are relatively short-lived compared with drugs like MDMA, it is often used as a booster, or a secondary substance, that draws out desired pleasurable effects of the primary drug. 

Tabulated data that include the lot number, manufacturing site, and date of manufacture for the material used in clinical trails, and for drug products, the lot number of the drug substance used... 

Opisthobranch are marine mollusks that are scarcely protected by a shell, which suggests that they possess defensive substances.1 1 For instance, when the Pacific aglajid Navanax inermis is damaged by enemies, it secretes a bright-yellow water-insoluble mixture into its slime trail. From the extracts, three major compounds have been isolated and identified as polyenic compounds 51-53, navenones A-C.122,123 It has been demonstrated that these secreted constituents induce an avoidance-alarm response in a trail-following Navanax species at a concentration of lOpmoll M24...

Alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma photons are often called ionizing radiation, because as they travel through a substance, they strip electrons from its atoms, leaving a trail of ions in their wake. Let s explore why this happens and take a look at the effects that ionizing radiation has on our bodies. 

Most social insects use alarm and trail pheromones. Their specificity is not so important, but fast release and dispersal are important. They tend to be small volatile substances for instance, (S)-4-methyl-3-heptanone is an alarm pheromone in the leaf-cutting ant, Atta textata. 

Mutagens alter DNA to produce inheritable trails. Although mutation is a natural process that occurs even in the absence of xenobiotic substances, most mutations are harmful (Manahan, 2000). The mechanisms of mutagenicity are similar to those of carcinogenicity and mutagens often cause birth defects as well. Therefore, mutagenic hazardous substances are of major toxicological concern.
