The EpiOcular Eye Irritation Test (EIT) for hazard identification and labelling of eye irritating chemicals: protocol optimisation for solid materials and the results after extended shipment.

Altern. Lab. Anim. 43 , 101-27, (2015)

The 7th Amendment to the EU Cosmetics Directive and the EU REACH Regulation have reinforced the need for in vitro ocular test methods. Validated in vitro ocular toxicity tests that can predict the human response to chemicals, cosmetics and other consumer prod...

Differentiation of South American crack and domestic (US) crack cocaine via headspace-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

Drug Test. Anal. 7(3) , 241-6, (2015)

South American 'crack' cocaine, produced directly from coca leaf, can be distinguished from US domestically produced crack on the basis of occluded solvent profiles. In addition, analysis of domestically produced crack indicates the solvents that were used fo...

Calculating virtual log P in the alkane/water system (log P(N)(alk)) and its derived parameters deltalog P(N)(oct-alk) and log D(pH)(alk).

J. Med. Chem. 48 , 3269-79, (2005)

Growing interest in the use of both the logarithm of the partition coefficient of the neutral species in the alkane/water system (log P(N)(alk)) and the difference between log P(N)(oct) (the logarithm of the partition coefficient of the neutral species in the...

Evaluation of the discriminative potential of a novel biomarker for estradiol treatments in bovine animals.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 63(1) , 370-8, (2015)

The endogenous occurrence of natural hormones obstructs the application of classical targeted methods as confirmatory options. In the case of estradiol, the ultimate confirmation of its exogenous administration relies on gas chromatography coupled to combusti...

Mosquito odorant receptor for DEET and methyl jasmonate.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 111(46) , 16592-7, (2014)

Insect repellents are important prophylactic tools for travelers and populations living in endemic areas of malaria, dengue, encephalitis, and other vector-borne diseases. DEET (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) is a 6-decade-old synthetic repellent, which is st...

Separation of chemical constituents from three plant medicines by counter-current chromatography using a three-phase solvent system at a novel ratio.

J. Chromatogr. A. 1384 , 107-14, (2015)

A solvent system of n-hexane, methyl acetate, acetonitrile, and water at a novel volume ratio of 4:3:4:4 forms three layers, i.e. upper phase (UP), middle phase (MP), and lower phase (LP), with a volume ratio of 1:1.20:1.42 at room temperature (25°C). All thr...

Development and optimization of an analytical system for volatile organic compound analysis coming from the heating of interstellar/cometary ice analogues.

Anal. Chem. 86(16) , 8391-9, (2014)

This contribution presents an original analytical system for studying volatile organic compounds (VOC) coming from the heating and/or irradiation of interstellar/cometary ice analogues (VAHIIA system) through laboratory experiments. The VAHIIA system brings s...

Changes in hypothalamic neurotransmitter and prostanoid levels in response to NMDA, CRF, and GLP-1 stimulation.

Anal. Bioanal. Chem 407 , 5261-72, (2015)

Determination of neuroactive substances, such as neurotransmitters and prostanoids, in the extracellular space of the living brain is a very important technique in neuroscience. The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is one of the most important auton...

Three-phase solvent systems for the comprehensive separation of a wide variety of compounds from Dicranostigma leptopodum by high-speed counter-current chromatography.

J. Sep. Sci. 38 , 2038-45, (2015)

A three-phase solvent system was efficiently applied for high-speed counter-current chromatography to separate secondary metabolites with a wide range of hydrophobicity in Dicranostigma leptopodum. The three-phase solvent system of n-hexane/methyl tert-butyl ...

Examining the risk of methanol poisoning from methyl acetate-containing products.

Am. J. Emerg. Med. 31(6) , 964-6, (2013)

This retrospective study aims to review California Poison Control System data to qualitatively describe reported methyl acetate (MA) exposures and determine if a metabolic acidosis develops.We queried the Poison Control System data between January 1997 and De...
