General description

The photodissociation dynamics of butyl nitrite was studied using time-resolved Fourier transform infrared (TR-FTIR) emission spectroscopy. The effects of butyl nitrite on methyl cobalamin and 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate were studied.

Glutathione transferase (GST)-catalysed S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) formation from alkyl nitrites was determined with the homodimers 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, and 4-4 isolated from rat liver. The 4-4 isoform showed a high specificity for the alkyl nitrites. Total GST activities were studied in

Volatile alkyl nitrites have been used during the past decades for "recreational purposes," and for intensifying sexual experience. Their use has been associated with methemoglobinemia and hemolysis. We report three patients who presented over the past year with acute hemolysis

Butyl nitrite is the predominant and presumed active ingredient in a variety of commercial preparations sold as "room odorizers." These compounds have significant abuse potential, giving the user the sensation of a "rush", which may be related to their intense

tert-Butyl nitrite was identified as a safe and chemoselective nitrating agent that provides preferentially mononitro derivatives of phenolic substrates in the presence of potentially competitive functional groups. On the basis of our control experiments, we propose that the reaction proceeds

The use of volatile butylnitrite in place of sodium nitrite for the in vitro production of methemoglobin was explored in studies of G6PD-deficient red cells and for measurements of the red cell methemoglobin reductase activity. It was found that butylnitrite
