The BIBRA Toxicity Profile is a comprehensive yet concise review of the toxicological data on the profiled chemical. All studies identified have been carefully evaluated (using primary data sources wherever possible), but only the data most pertinent to h...
Hydrophobic plasticizer protects polylactide (PLA) against hydrolytic degradation but still migrates to aging medium and there undergoes further hydrolysis contributing to the spectrum of degradation products. PLA plasticized with hydrophobic acetyl tributyl citrate (ATC) plasticizer showed a slower degradation rate compared with pure ...

Residues of printing ink components were determined in 94 samples of packaging materials commercially used in the Czech Republic for food packaging. The samples tested included printed polyethylene and polypropylene films, co-extruded and laminated films, paperboard beverages boxes, foils for thermo sealing of polystyrene cups, and polypropylene cups. Printing ink components were extracted with ...
The enolization of acetyl coenzyme A is demonstrated by means of isotope experiments. It requires citrate-synthase and an inductor, (S)-malate. The mechanism of the biosynthesis of citrate and the results of the experiments are in agreement with the sugge...
Tributyl phosphate (TBP) is a toxic organophosphorous compound widely used in many industrial applications, including significant usage in nuclear processing. The industrial application of this chemical is responsible for occupational exposure and environmental pollution. In this study, (1)H NMR-based metabonomics has been applied to investigate the metabolic response to TBP ...
By using acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) as the plasticizer of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and carbon black (CB) as conductive filler, electrically conductive polymer composites (CPC) with different CB and ATBC contents were prepared. FTIR revealed that the interaction existed between PLA/ATBC matrix and CB filler and ATBC could improve ...
Steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR) is activated by endogenous and exogenous chemicals including steroids, bile acids, and prescription drugs. SXR is highly expressed in the liver and intestine, where it regulates cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), which in turn controls xenobiotic and endogenous steroid hormone metabolism. However, it is unclear whether FDA-approved plasticizers exert such activity. ...
A GC/MS method was developed for simultaneous determination of 12 phthalates and four other plasticizers--acetyl tributyl citrate, di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate, dibutyl sebacate, di-isononyl cyclohexane 1,2-dicarboxylate (DINCH)--in vegetable oil, pesto, and tomato sauce. Samples were extracted with acetonitrile and cleaned on a Florisil ...
A new enzyme, acetate:SH-[acyl-carrier-protein] enzyme ligase (AMP), has been purified about 30-fold from cell-free extracts of Klebsiella aerogenes. The enzyme, in the presence of acetate and ATP, catalyzes the acetylation of enzymically inactive des-acetyl citrate lyase to enzymically active citrate lyase (EC ...

Migration levels of acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) plasticiser from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film into the European Union specified aqueous food simulants (distilled water, 3% w/v acetic acid and 10% v/v ethanol) were monitored as a function of time. Migration testing was carried out at 40�C for 10 days. Determination of the analyte ...
Acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) is a central metabolite in carbon and energy metabolism. Because of its amphiphilic nature and bulkiness, acetyl-CoA cannot readily traverse biological membranes. In fungi, two systems for acetyl unit transport have been identified: a shuttle dependent on the carrier carnitine and a ...

The synthesis of citrate from acetyl-coenzyme A and oxaloacetate is catalyzed in most organisms by a Si-citrate synthase, which is Si-face stereospecific with respect to C-2 of oxaloacetate. However, in Clostridium kluyveri and some other strictly anaerobic bacteria, the reaction is catalyzed by a Re-citrate ...
The synthesis of citric acid vinyl esters and its homo and copolymerization properties were studied. Citric acid trivinyl ester cannot be built up directly with citric acid. Acetyl anhydro citric acid obtained by acetylation of citric acid can be converte...
A four year effort devoted to the establishment of fluorometric methods for the determination of acetylcholine has been completed. The use of enzymes with high specificity i.e. acetyl-cholinesterase, acetyl-CoA synthetase and citrate condensing enzyme, re...
Acetyl coenzyme A (CoA) is a central metabolite in carbon and energy metabolism and in the biosynthesis of cellular molecules. A source of cytoplasmic acetyl-CoA is essential for the production of fatty acids and sterols and for protein acetylation, including histone acetylation in the nucleus. In Saccharomyces ...
The genome annotations of all sequenced Dehalococcoides strains lack a citrate synthase although physiological experiments have indicated that such an activity should be encoded. We here report that a Re-face specific citrate synthase is synthesized by Dehalococcoides strain CBDB1 and that this function is encoded by the gene cbdbA1708 (NCBI accession ...
Self-adhesive thin-films have been developed as a topical delivery system for 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). The thin films are suitable for use during the photodynamic therapy of epithelial skin tumors. They are composed of a combination of the lipophilic polymer Eudragit NE and the lipophilic plasticiser acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC). ...
Dielectric analysis (DEA) relies on the response of molecules to a changing electric field. Permittivity (epsilon^') is a parameter obtained from DEA, which is proportional to the amount of molecular alignment (or motion). A DEA methodology was developed to evaluate and classify the degree of cure of films, and to demonstrate the mechanism of the curing phenomenon at a molecular level. The model ...

Duplicate hospital diet samples obtained over 1 week in 2001 were analysed to estimate the daily intake of plasticizers and the results were compared with those obtained in 1999. The plasticizers quantified in this study were: dibutyl phthalate, butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP), di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA), diisononyl adipate (DINA) ...
