Spectrophotometric Determination of Thiocyanate In
Investigative Forensic Sciences © All rights are reserved by Buddha D. Paul and Thomas Research Article Open Access Spectrophotometric Determination of Thiocyanate in Human Saliva by a Unique Iodine-Azide-Chromogenic Substrate Reaction and its Application in Distinguishing Tobacco Smokers from Non-Smokers† Buddha D. Paul and Thomas Bosy Division of Forensic Toxicology, Office of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner, Dover AFB, Delaware, USA. Abstract A method to detect thiocyanate (SCN) in human saliva is presented. Thiocyanate concentrations appear to be diagnostic when classifying smokers or non-smokers, and in determining some clinical conditions. The method involves the reaction of SCN with excess iodine and azide, and spectroscopic detection of unreacted iodine by a chromogenic substrate, ABTS. The calibration was linear over the range of 12.5-150 µmol/L (slope = 0.0086 delta-Abs/SCN µmol/L, intercept = -0.0160 delta-Abs, R2 0.9998). The method was applied to analyze 29 saliva specimens. The results were similar to those obtained from a gas chromatography-mass 2 spectrometry method (slope = 0.9595, R 0.9790). Based on Grubbs equation applied to specimens from non-smoking subjects, a threshold concentration of 1100 µmol/L for SCN was determined to distinguish smokers from the non-smokers. The SCN concentrations in 18 out of 20 saliva specimens collected from 2 smokers were above this threshold. The specimens from smokers were also examined for nicotine and cotinine by a GCMS method. While nicotine concentrations were found to vary, the cotinine concentrations remained stable, 134+29 ng/mL. Generally, the presence of nicotine/cotinine in specimens only indicates exposure to tobacco products, but the presence of any of these compounds with elevated SCN, is an indication of smoking. -

Senra† & Ana Lúcia Fonseca 5 6 Instituto de Recursos Naturais, Universidade Federal de Itajubá, 37500-903, Itajubá, Minas 7 Gerais – Brazil 8 †Corresponding author – [email protected]; Orcid - 0000-0002-3866-8837 9 10 Abstract 11 Tyrosinases (EC 1.14.18.1) are type-3 copper metalloenzymes with strong oxidative capacities 12 and low allosteric selectivity to phenolic and non-phenolic aromatic compounds that have been 13 used as biosensors and biocatalysts to mitigate the impacts of environmental contaminants over 14 aquatic ecosystems. However, the widespread use of these polyphenol oxidases is limited by 15 elevated production costs and restricted knowledge on their spectrum of action. Here, six 16 tyrosinase homologs were identified and characterized from the genomes of 4 widespread 17 freshwater ciliates using bioinformatics. Binding energies between 3D models of these 18 homologs and ~1000 contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), including fine chemicals, 19 pharmaceuticals, personal care products, illicit drugs, natural toxins, and pesticides were 20 estimated through virtual screening, suggesting their spectrum of action and potential uses in 21 environmental biotechnology might be considerably broader than previously thought. -

The nomination is based on the potential for widespread human exposure to DMAE through its use in industrial and consumer products and an inadequate toxicological database. Studies to address potential hazards of consumer (e.g. dietary supplement) exposures, including use by pregnant women and children, and the potential for reproductive effects and carcinogenic effects are limited. -
