The metabolism of benzyl isothiocyanate and its cysteine conjugate [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1977
1. The corresponding cysteine conjugate was formed when the GSH (reduced glutathione) or cysteinylglycine conjugates of benzyl isothiocyanate were incubated with rat liver or kidney homogenates. When the cysteine conjugate of benzyl isothiocyanate was similarly incubated in the presence of acetyl-CoA, the corresponding N-acetylcysteine conjugate ...

Polarographic simultaneous determination of benzyl thiocyanate and benzyl isothiocyanate

BUNSEKI KAGAKU, 1973
有機チオシアネートおよびイソチオシアネート類としてベンジルチオシアネート(BTC)およびベンジルイソチオシアネート(BIT)を取り上げ,ポーラログラフ法により両者の同時定量を試みた.BTCおよびBITを含む試料液にn-ブチルアミンを添加し,BITを対応するチオウレア誘導体に変え,常法により直流ポーラログラムを記録し,チオウレア誘導体の酸化波とBTCの還元波より両者の分離定量を行なった.BTCおよびBITのそれぞれ1×10-3～1×10-4M範囲における検量線は直線性を示し,5×10-4Mにおける変動係数はBTCでは3.3%,BITでは2.2%であった.さらに本法をBTCの放射線分解物の分析に応用した.
