Cleavage of a model peptide at its glycine residue by alkaline mercuric oxycyanide.

Int. J. Pept. Protein Res. 34(1) , 52-5, (1989)

Treatment of peptides with excess HgO in the presence of alkaline cyanide leads to cleavage of the peptides at glycine residues. The reaction appears to involve both C- and N-mercuration with subsequent release of 2 mol mercury per mol of glycine. An intermed...

Periorbital contact dermatitis due to yellow mercuric oxide.

Contact Dermatitis 35(1) , 61, (1996)

Transformation of epiandrosterone into 3-oxa-, 3-thia-, 3-selena-, and 3-aza-17-oxaandrostanes of the 5 alpha series based on beta-scission of alkoxyl radicals.

Steroids 55(8) , 353-9, (1990)

3 beta-Hydroxy-5 alpha-androstan-17-one was transformed into 17-oxa-5 alpha-androstan-3 beta-ol in five steps involving conversion of the 17-ketone via the corresponding lactol to its hypoiodite and thence a regioselective beta-scission under irradiation to g...

Investigation of an unexpected addition reaction that occurs when 2,3:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-D-ribose diethyl dithioacetal is treated with mercuric oxide and mercuric chloride.

J. Org. Chem. 66(12) , 4405-8, (2001)

Comparison of neurite outgrowth with neurofilament protein subunit levels in neuroblastoma cells following mercuric oxide exposure.

Clin. Exp. Pharmacol. Physiol. 22(5) , 362-3, (1995)

1. The objectives of the study were to establish that inhibition of neuronal differentiation in culture (assessed by neurite outgrowth) can be used as a broad spectrum in vitro measure of neurotoxicity. 2. To establish whether a rapid measure of neurite outgr...

[Blepharitis due to Demodex: myth or reality?].

J. Fr. Ophtalmol. 22(5) , 525-7, (1999)

Demodex folliculorum has been incriminated in the development of blepharitis although much controversy persists. Certain authors suggest that Demodex is a direct pathogen in chronic palpebral conditions while others consider the saprophyte to be innocuous to ...

Cytological abnormalities induced by mercury water pollutants on Allium cepa L.

Bull. Environ. Contam. Toxicol. 45(5) , 767-74, (1990)

Synthesis of oxido-bridged analogs of 18-hydroxyprogesterone.

Steroids 61(6) , 345-8, (1996)

18-Hydroxy-6,19-oxidoprogesterone and 18-hydroxy-11, 19-oxidoprogesterone were synthesized from readily available materials. The functionalization of C-18 was accomplished with phenyliodosodiacetate/iodine, whereas that of C-19 was carried out with the mercur...

Inhalational mercury poisoning masquerading as toxic shock syndrome.

Anaesth. Intensive Care 22(3) , 305-6, (1994)

A study of mercuric oxide and zinc-air battery life in hearing aids.

J. Laryngol. Otol. 111(9) , 814-9, (1997)

The requirement to phase out mercuric oxide (mercury) batteries on environmental grounds has led to the widespread introduction of zinc-air technology. The possibility arises that high drain hearing aids may not be adequately catered for by zinc-air cells, le...
