Toxic Tear Gas 2-Chloroacetophenone (CN) Forms Adducts With Endogenous Plasma Thiols In Vitro Valuable as Biomarkers of Exposure. [PDF]

Drug Test Anal
Incubation of human plasma with the tear gas 2‐chloroacetophenone (CN) led to the formation of acetophenone (AcPhen)‐adducts with the small plasma thiols glutathione, homocysteine, and cysteine persulfide. The AcPhen‐adducts were either bound to an organic thiol‐group or to an organic persulfide. The adducts were detected with a mass spectrometry‐based

Phosphonylated tyrosine and lysine residues as biomarkers of local exposure of human hair to the organophosphorus nerve agents sarin and VX

Drug Testing and Analysis, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 730-744, July 2023., 2023
This is the first report addressing analysis of biomarker adducts obtained from human hair exposed to the nerve agents sarin and VX in vitro. Phosphonylated single amino acids were obtained after pronase‐catalyzed proteolysis of hair proteins. Adducted Lys and especially Tyr residues were the most prominent adducts detected by μLC‐ESI MS/HR MS.
