Capsaicin(8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide: CAP) known well as a major compound of not taste in hot pepper, was investigated for the inhibition effect on in vitro nitrosation. CAP(100$\mu$mol) inhibited the formation of N-nitrosoproline(NPRO) and N-nitrosothioproline(NTPRO) by 56% and 26%, respectively. Vanillyl alcohol inhibited the nitrosation of proline by a concentration-dependent manner, and vanillic acid and vanillin were less effective in blocking the nitrosation of proline compared to CAP and anillyl alcohol. The inhibitory effect of NPRO formation by CAP was evaluated to similar with alpha-tocopherol, and vanillyl alcohol was more effective than alpha-tocopherol in blocking the nitrosation of proline. Our results suggested that CAP and its metabolites such as vanillyl alcohol could inhibit endogenous nitrosation in hydrophobic biological environment.

The determination of total phenols was accomplished by capillary-high performance liquid chromatography (capillary-HPLC) after nitrosation of the U.S.E.P.A. classified 11 priority pollutant phenols, using the nitrosated parent phenol (POHNO) as a reference for calibration. The optimum mobile phase composition for this analysis was found by examining the effect of changing the percentage of acetonitrile (MeCN) in the mobile phase on retention factors (k values) and peak intensities. As MeCN percentage was increased, k values were reduced and peak intensities were generally increased. From the results obtained, it was found that the optimum mobile phase was 90%(v/v) MeCN solution at pH 8.0, the detection wavelength of 400 nm, and a detection limit (D.L., concentration at signal to noise ratio (S/N) of 3.0) of 4.5 ${\times}$ $10^{-7}$ M. In addition, 10 of the 11 phenols present in mineral or waste water were separated after the nitrosation by capillary-HPLC. The optimum mobile phase for separation was a 40%(v/v) MeCN solution at pH 5.0.

The reactivity of the sulfhydryl (thiol) group of homocysteine has been associated with an Increased risk of atherosclerosis, thrombosis and stroke. Thiols also react with nitric oxide (NO, an endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) ), forming S-nitrosothiols that have been reported to have potent vasodilatory and antiplatelet effects and been expected to decrease adverse vascular effects of homocysteine. The present study was aimed to Investigate whether the S-nitrosation of homocysteine modulates the neurotoxic effects of homocysteine. An 18 hour-exposure of cultured rat cortical neurons to homocysteine ( >1 mM) resulted in a significant neuronal cell death. At comparable concentrations ( <10 mM), however, S-nitrosohomocysteine did not induce neuronal cell death. Furthermore, S-nitrosohomocysteirle partially blocked NMDA-mediated neurotoxicity. S-nitrosohomocysteine also decreased NMDA-mediated increases in intracellular calcium concentration. The present data indicate that in brain nitric oxide produced from neuronal and nonneuronal cells can modulate the potential, adverse properties of homocysteine.

The reactions of nitrous acid with hydrogen peroxide in acidic aqueous solution in the presence of several added anions have been studied at $0^{\circ}C$ and pH 2-4 to investigate the nucleophilic catalysis of these anions. From the dependence of reaction rates on the anion concentrations, significant catalytic effects were found for $Cl^-,\;Br^-,\;SCN^-$, in order of effect $SCN^-\;{\approx}\;Br^->Cl^-$, while no observable effect was found for ${ClO_4}^-$ and ${NO_3}^-$. These results support O-nitrosation reaction is the rate-determining step and NOX formed in the presence of an anion ($X^-$) also acts as a nitrosating agent and accelerates the overall reaction rate. The order of reactivity was found to be NOCl>NOBr>NOSCN, which is consistent with the results of N-nitrosation and S-nitrosation reactions.

1. Nitrate and nitrite may contribute via nitrosation to the human exposure to N-nitroso compounds, especially nitrosamines, which are suspectd to be human carcinogens. 2. Since certain foods contain traces of nitrosamines, one should take the several points into consideration in evaluating the risk. 3. Nitrites, which can appear in the because of natural occurrence or deliberate addition, can react under the acidic conditions of the normal stomach with secondary amines to form nitrosamine. 4. Among the foods esamined, nitrate-nitrite treated meat products cooked bacon, and salted and dried fish are the main contributors of nitrosamines in our diet. 5. Consequently, in order to minimize human exposure to these chemicals, it is obviously essential to develop the alternative sources of nitrite in cured meat products. Thus the emphasis should be placed upon the most effective use of nitrite in curing with the use of acceptable inhibitors of nitrosation such as ascorbc acid or $\alpha$-tocopherol.

Various N'-substituted anilino-N-methyl-N'-nitrosoureas(2a-n) were easily prepared from the reaction of substituted phenylhydraines $(3, 4-CH_3, {\;} 3-, {\;} 4-OCH_3, {\;} 3-, {\;} 4-F, {\;} 3, {\;} 4-Cl, {\;} 4-Br, {\;} 2-, {\;} 3-, {\;} 4-NO_2, 4-(NO_2)_2)$ with methyl isocyanate, followed by the nitrosation with 99% HCOOH and dry sodium lnitrite powder. Surprisingly, of these series of analogus, the anilino-nitrocosureas substituted with eletron-withdrawing nitro groups (2k-a) showed significantly low $ED_{30}$ values of $1.4-3.4 {\mu}g/ml.$ In addition, none of these copounds subtituted with electron-donating groups exhibited cytotoxicities.

Several physiological components containing a secondary amino group were capable of reacting sodium nitroprusside to form potentially carcinogenic nitrosamines under physiological conditions (pH 7.3, 37). In each case the products were identical to those produced upon reaction with nitrous acid at much lower pH values. Reaction rates measured with proline were shown to reflect a first order dependence on both amine and nitroprusside concentrations. The strong influences of pH on the reactions of sodium nitro prusside with amines were also observed. These results show sodium nitroprusside could be a very potent nitrosation agent under physiological conditions.
