Toxic Tear Gas 2‐Chloroacetophenone (CN) Forms Adducts With Endogenous Plasma Thiols In Vitro Valuable as Biomarkers of Exposure

open access: yesDrug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
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
