Since July 2018 several drugs have been recalled due to contamination with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogen. Dimethylamine (DMA) and nitrite are precursors in the formation ...

Researchers have developed a biosensor 1 capable of simultaneously detecting very low concentrations of nitrate and nitrite ions (nitric oxide metabolites) in human plasma, blood and saliva samples, ...

A team of researchers writing in the journal Angewandte Chemie has developed a bioorthogonal molecular system for the targeted introduction of nitrite ions into cells. Their system releases nitrite ...

The appearance of tobacco-specific nitrosamines is facilitated by the nitrite present in tobacco. Since most of these nitrosamines are carcinogenic, it is essential to determine the presence of ...
