The effects of four isomers of dinitrotoluene (DNT) and technical DNT (a mixture of DNT isomers and other compounds, with 2,4-DNT as the major constituent) were studied in two short-term in vitro assays. None of the isomers or technical DNT

The characteristic ions or the parent ion resulting from ionization can be isolated in an ion trap and subjected to further fragmentation during a gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC/MS/MS) experiment. This approach can improve the selectivity and sensitivity of explosive

The relation of various structural parameters to hepatotoxic potential was investigated by using six dinitrotoluene (DNT) isomers and isolated rat hepatocyte suspensions as the biological test system. DNT-induced hepatotoxicity was found to correlate with an inhibition of protein synthesis and

In this study we test the hypothesis that immortalized adult rat Sertoli cells respond to known testicular toxins in a similar manner to Sertoli cells tested in vivo and in primary culture. This cell line was developed by immortalizing adult

The solubility in pure and saline water at various temperatures was calculated for selected nitro compounds (nitrobenzene, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, 2-nitrotoluene, 3-nitrotoluene, 4-nitrotoluene, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, 2,6-dinitrotoluene, 2,3-dinitrotoluene, 3,4-dinitrotoluene, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene) using the Conductor-like Screening model for Real Solvents (COSMO-RS). The results obtained were compared
